Although neither of the two parties in this case has made a statement, officials of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) claim that the aviation regulator of India is looking into each of the seven events and may take actions against the airline if it determines that it is at fault.

Regarding the seven incidents, six were domestic flights and one was an international flight. On June 5 in the early morning, a Spice Jet Boeing 737 Max carrying about 150 passengers on a trip from Delhi to Dubai was reported to have an international flight incident when it made an emergency landing in Karachi, Pakistan. While in the air, the plane began to exhibit an odd fuel quantity reduction from its left tank, which caused it to be redirected to Karachi.

Because of the bird strike, the engine broke down. The plane’s pilot, Monica Khanna, is given credit for a successful landing after one of the most significant occurrences in recent days.

In another incident on June 19, a flight for Jabalpur had to return to Delhi due to cabin pressurization issues. Fuselage door warnings lit up on two separate planes while taking off on June 24 and June 25, forcing them to abandon their journeys and return.
