Boeing 737  

Captain DV Sathe along with his co-pilot and 16 passengers lost their lives when the Air India Express Boeing 737 from Dubai to Kozhikode (Calicut) overshot the runway at Karipur airport on Friday

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) which is the Indian aviation regulatory body has ordered checks of all Boeing 737-Next Generation (NG) aircraft that have completed over 26,000 flight cycles.

A Boeing spokesperson stated that the 777X encountered an issue during “final load testing” which subjects the plane to stresses beyond normal operational loads
 

Amid the crisis that has racked Jet in the recent times, around 260 pilots from Jet Airways have now applied to join SpiceJet airlines. 

The civil aviation secretary added that around 30-35 flights of SpiceJet are likely to be affected on Thursday. SpiceJet has the largest number of the controversial Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft.

The comment was made minutes after the United Kingdom joined the force of nations grounding the B737 planes after it crashed for the second time in a span of five months

The core problem, according to aviation experts, is that the pilots are not being trained on the Boeing 737 simulators, which in turn is hindering their ability to take sudden decisions and control the plane during the crisis.

DGCA will take a decision to ground the Boeing 737-MAX planes in India on Wednesday at 4 pm post the crash of an Ethiopian Airlines flight, earlier this week, killing 157 people.
