Earlier in the day, the DGCA had announced that it would remove SpiceJet from "advanced surveillance", which it was placed under following several incidents in the last monsoon regarding maintenance of the aircraft.

Indigo plane's engine caught fire

In October last year, an emergency was declared at the Delhi airport after one of the engines of an IndiGo aircraft caught fire while taxiing. The Bangalore-bound A320 aircraft, with 184 people on board, later returned to the Gulf. A video on Twitter showed one of the plane's engines catching fire and sparks flying while taxiing to the airport.
