The DGCA released a statement
At the same time, in this regard, it was said on behalf of the DGCA that a hydraulic failure was found on the Air Arabia flight (G9-426) from Sharjah to Kochi. The plane landed safely on the runway and the engine was shut down. After that, the plane was taken to the bay.
Defective aircraft cases on the rise
Be aware that in recent times there has been a significant increase in aircraft breakdown cases. Three days ago, during the Dubai-Madurai flight of the SpiceJet company, a case of delay was reported due to the non-functioning of the nose wheel of the plane.
When the engineer inspected the aircraft, he found that the nose wheels were sunk in more than usual. After that, the plane was not allowed to take off. Then, SpiceJet sent another plane from Mumbai to Dubai so that the passengers of the Dubai-Madurai flight could be brought from there.
