    SpiceJet to operate at full capacity from Oct 30 after aviation regulator DGCA lifts safety curbs

    The Director General of Civil Aviation has lifted the restrictions on private carrier SpiceJet, allowing it to operate airlines on full capacity from October 30.

    The aviation regulator had imposed restrictions on SpiceJet flights on July 27 for eight weeks, which was later on extended on September 21. The decision had meant that the airline was only allowed to fly a little over 2,000 flights from the approved number of 4,192.

    The lifting of restrictions comes at a time when the airline continues to face safety related snags. On October 18, the DGCA ordered inspections of the airline's 14 Q400 aircraft after it made an emergency landing in Hyderabad after smoke filled its cockpit and cabin.
