SpiceJet to retrain 90 banned Boeing 737 Max pilots

Indian budget carrier will conduct retraining for 90 grounded pilots barred from flying Boeing 737 Max aircraft.

The airline now plans to do this

The airline has about 650 pilots trained on the 737 Max aircraft.

“This restriction does not impact the operations of Max aircraft and the company has adequate trained pilots available,” SpiceJet said.
