Electrical malfunction in Vistara Bangkok flight after landing in Delhi airport
New Delhi: The engine of a Vistara plane from Bangkok malfunctioned soon after landing at the Delhi airport on Tuesday (July 5), media reports said.
The plane had to be towed from the taxiway to the parking area, Vistara Airlines said, adding that all passengers were safe.
"After landing in Delhi, while taxing to the parking bay, our flight UK122 (BKK-DEL) had a minor electrical malfunction on 05 July, 2022. Keeping passenger safety and comfort in mind the crew elected to tow the aircraft to the bay," Vistara said in a statement.
Earlier today, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, or DGCA, issued a notice to SpiceJet after an unusually high number of midair technical snags involving its planes.
The aviation regulator has sought an explanation from the airlines about the big gaps in its is functioning, from operating flights with "degraded safety margins" to vendors not being paid on time.
