DGCA derosters SpiceJet crew after video of mid-air wedding goes viral
Madurai: A wedding on a chartered flight received full marks for creativity, but it is being investigated for violating Covid-safety laws. According to ANI, the aviation regulator has requested a report, and the SpiceJet flight crew has been taken off duty for the investigation. The bride and groom, as well as their families, could face legal action because SpiceJet claims that passengers did not obey rules despite repeated requests.
The young couple from Madurai, Tamil Nadu – the state is currently under lockdown to investigate Covid – booked a flight to Bengaluru and married in the air. According to photographs and videos that have gone viral online, their friends, relatives, and guests were all on the Boeing 737 plane.

Nepal Plane Crash: 18 Dead as Aircraft Crashes During Takeoff pilot survives
On July 24, 2024, a tragic accident unfolded at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu when a Saurya Airlines aircraft crashed during takeoff.
The incident occurred around 11:00 AM local time as the flight, bound for Pokhara, was preparing for departure. The aircraft, carrying 19 individuals including the aircrew, crashed shortly after lifting off the runway. According to PTI, “at least 18 people were killed” in the accident.
The casualties included 18 Nepalis and one Yemeni citizen, all of whom were employees of Saurya Airlines, as confirmed by police. The aircraft was en route for technical maintenance at the time of the crash.

Images released by Nepal police showed thick smoke pouring from the burning wreckage on the runway. Eyewitnesses, as reported by The Kathmandu Post, described how the plane flipped after its wing-tip struck the ground during takeoff.
The impact led to an immediate fire, and the aircraft subsequently plunged into a gorge on the eastern side of the runway. Rescue operations commenced swiftly, with police and firefighters arriving at the scene to control the situation.
The aviation authority confirmed that rescue efforts were initiated immediately, but the crash underscores the persistent dangers associated with air travel in Nepal. The country’s challenging mountainous terrain often contributes to aviation risks.
