Due to an indicator light malfunction, a Spice Jet flight from India had to make an emergency landing in Karachi, Pakistan. Flight was planned to depart from New Delhi and travel to Dubai. While en route, the pilot saw the indicator light signals for an unknown reason, and the aircraft continued on a different route before landing in southern Pakistan, where all of the passengers disembarked. The representative stated that a replacement plane was being deployed to Karachi to transport passengers to Dubai.

SpiceJet B737 aircraft operating flight SG-11 (Delhi – Dubai) was diverted to Karachi due to an indicator light malfunctioning. The aircraft landed safely at Karachi and passengers were safely disembarked.”

The airline said there was no emergency or priority landing. The aircraft made a normal landing, it added. “There was no earlier report of any malfunction with the aircraft. Passengers have been served refreshments.”

Directorate General of Civil Aviation director-general Arun Kumar said the aviation regulator was investigating the matter.

Following the two fatal disasters, Boeing Max aircraft have been off the air since 2019 all over the world. India removed the ban on that aircraft last year. Following the disaster, Boeing updated all necessary improvements and installed a simulator across the nation.

Airbus Enhances A350 Cabin with 10-Abreast Seating

Airbus Enhances A350 Cabin with 10-Abreast Seating

Airbus has announced a new partnership with Jiatai Aircraft Equipment, a Chinese aircraft seating manufacturer, to supply upgraded economy-class seats for the A350 widebody series.

This collaboration, unveiled at the 2024 Airshow China, focuses on developing a newly designed economy seat tailored for the A350‘s New Production Standard (NPS) cabin.

One of the key features of the NPS cabin is the ability to accommodate 17-inch wide economy seats, compared to the previous 16.5-inch wide seats that airlines were limited to in the A350’s earlier configurations.

This change is made possible by the expanded space in the NPS cabin, which is 35 inches longer and 4 inches wider than the previous version. This extra space is achieved by slightly moving the cockpit wall forward and shifting the rear pressure bulkhead back by one frame.

The wider cabin allows airlines to add up to 30 extra economy seats without compromising comfort. For airlines opting for a 3-4-3 seating layout, the 17-inch wide seats are an excellent choice for a more comfortable passenger experience. However, some airlines, such as Iberia, may choose to retain a 9-abreast layout with wider seats for added comfort.

The NPS cabin also offers enhanced flexibility for airline operators. One major advantage is the ability to easily switch between a 9-abreast and 10-abreast seating configuration without requiring significant downtime for aircraft reconfiguration. Airlines can use the same seat rails, tracks, and IFE interfaces, making the transition smoother and quicker.

In addition, the design of the floor attachments and air-conditioning systems has been optimized for 10-abreast seating, meaning airlines can upgrade their cabins without needing to make substantial modifications to the aircraft’s structure.

Though it’s still unclear when Jiatai’s economy-class seats will be officially added to the A350’s Buyer Furnished Equipment (BFE) catalogue, the collaboration marks a significant step toward enhancing the A350’s cabin offerings.

With this partnership, Airbus is providing more seating options for airlines, ensuring that they can meet diverse customer needs while improving overall operational efficiency.
