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.
Since the last few months, cases of technical snags in planes are very often being reported in the country. SpiceJet aircrafts reported many cases in which major accidents were averted.
