Notably, a sizeable number of maintenance technicians of airlines are on sick leave since the last five days. They have been demanding restoration of salaries that were slashed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Earlier, on July 5, smoke was detected inside the cabin of the Raipur-Indore Indigo flight after landing. All the passengers were however, able to disembark safely, reported the DGCA.
