SpiceJet on Tuesday announced that it recorded zero Level 1 safety findings in audits conducted by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) over the last one year. Level 1 findings represent the most serious category in aviation safety assessments, and the airline's performance has been hailed as a strong endorsement of its operational integrity.
In a statement, the airline said, 'We are happy to be recognised as India's safe airline.' The carrier emphasised that safety remains a top priority, and the DGCA's clean sheet result is a reflection of its strict adherence to regulatory norms and global aviation best practices.
The airline further highlighted that it successfully renewed its IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) certification earlier this year in March. This certification, valid until March 2027, is a globally recognised benchmark for operational safety. The audit was conducted by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and affirms SpiceJet's continued commitment to high safety and operational standards.
SpiceJet operates a fleet of Boeing 737s and Q-400 aircraft, and is one of the country's largest regional operators under the UDAN scheme. It also offers SpiceMax, a premium economy-class product, on most of its fleet.
