SpiceJet has re-started operations of three Boeing 737 freighter aircraft that were grounded earlier this month. The three planes were grounded due to a potential defect after an advice from Israeli Aerospace Industries (IAI) that had converted these aircraft into freighters.
The three grounded B737 freighter aircraft will return to operations effective December 23, 2019 basis the resolution provided by IAI. SpiceJet has four freighter planes that operate on domestic as well as international routes. Out of them, three were converted by IAI.
SpiceJet is among the first private companies that stepped into the Indian aviation sector.
