SpiceJet will be subjected to enhanced surveillance during these eight weeks told DGCA. This is the most stringent action imposed on any airline in the recent years in the country. The DGCA also issued a strict order saying that any increase in the number of flights by SpiceJet will demonstrate the satisfaction of DGCA. SpiceJet failed to establish efficient, reliable and safe service for the flyers. SpiceJet responded on a swift note saying that there would be no flight cancellations. "We are in receipt of the DGCA order and will act as per directions of the regulator. Due to the current lean travel season, SpiceJet like other airlines had already rescheduled its flight operations. Hence, there will be absolutely no impact on our flight operations. We want to reassure our passengers and travel partners that our flights will operate as per schedule in the coming days and weeks. There will be no flight cancellation as a consequence of this order," told the official statement of SpiceJet.
