A Boeing 737 Max aircraft of SpiceJet, which was headed to Durgapur from Chennai, had to return after one of the engines developed a snag mid-air, senior officials of aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said on May 4.
The incident that occurred on Tuesday was the second involving a Max plane of the SpiceJet in the last five months.
SpiceJet's another 737 Max plane, which was flying from Mumbai to Kolkata on December 9, 2021, had to return to Maharashtra's capital city due to a "technical issue" in the engine.
