Indian aviation regulator DGCA has barred 90 SpiceJet pilots from operating the Boeing 737 Max aircraft after finding them not properly trained.

“For the moment, we have barred these pilots from flying the Max, and they have to retrain successfully for flying the aircraft,” DGCA chief Arun Kumar said.

He also said that the regulator will take “strict action against those found responsible for the lapse.”

The pilots will have to undergo training again, properly, on the Max simulator.
The Boeing 737 Max planes were grounded in India by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on March 13, 2019, three days after the crash of an Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max aircraft near Addis Ababa, which killed 157 people, including four Indians.
