New Delhi: A SpiceJet flight that took off for Nashik in Maharashtra from the Indira Gandhi International Airport on Thursday morning returned midway to the city due to an ‘autopilot’ snag, a DGCA official said. The Boeing 737 aircraft landed safely, he said, according to a News18 report.

SpiceJet B737 aircraft VT-SLP, operating flight SG-8363 (Delhi-Nashik) was involved in an air turnback due to an autopilot snag on Thursday, the official added. SpiceJet aircraft have been involved in a series of incidents in the past, following which the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) issued a show-cause notice to the airline.

On July 27, the aviation safety regulator also ordered the airline to operate a maximum of 50 per cent of its flights for eight weeks.
