Spicejet Wing Hits Post on Runway


What: SpiceJet Boeing 737-800 en route from Delhi to Hyderabad
Where: Delhi-Indira Gandhi International Airport
When: Dec 6 2012
Who: 142 aboard
Why: During taxi, the plane’s wing struck a lamp post, canceling the flight for 142 passengers. A damaged wing will require inspection before the plane can return to service.

Spicejet issued a statement that the accident was minor.

According to reports, 142 passengers were aboard at the time, many of them quite disturbed by the incident. The collision damaged a wing.

An inquiry has been ordered. Action may be taken against the pilot and those who were directing the pilot. Spicejet’s attitude is that this is a minor incident. That attitude is being interpreted by officials that the safety of passengers is not of primary concern to Spicejet. This may be considered a case of negligence.

What: SpiceJet Boeing 737 en route from Coimbatore to Chennai
Where: Chennai
When: Dec 20, 2009, 11.25am
Who: 121 passengers
Why: While en route (near final approach), one engine developed problems, overheated and was shut down. The flight was declared an emergency and landed safely at its destination. Apparently a generator failed, and that lead to the engine overheating, but hydraulics were not affected.

An article attributes the emergency to landing gear not operating. However, this may be referring to a separate incident, as the date and time and vehicle registration on both events is not clear. (yet)
