Like most of its peers, the Ajay Singh-led airline has reported many incidents of technical snags on flights off-late. This prompted the DGCA (directorate general of civil aviation) to conduct spot checks and even issue strict guidelines against the airlines. On July 28, 2022, the DGCA ordered the budget carrier to restrict its flights to 50% of the number of departures approved by the aviation regulator for eight weeks over repeated technical glitches. SpiceJet, however, says the DGCA order will not have any impact on its flight operations. It said due to the current lean travel season, SpiceJet -- like other airlines -- had "already rescheduled its flight operations".
