No-frills carrier SpiceJet on Friday said it has grounded three Boeing 737 freighter aircraft due to a “potential defect”.
The move follows an advice from Israeli Aerospace Industries (IAI), which had converted these planes into freighters, according to a regulatory filing.
“During an internal examination of IAI’s manufacturing facilities, a potential defect was discovered in the process used to manufacture the 9G rigid barrier installed on these aircraft.
“These aircraft will return to operations after regulatory clearance,” the filing said.
A senior official at DGCA said it would ensure compliance with Israeli civil aviation authority’s directives.
