ICAO says did not audit any airline in the wake of SpiceJet’s claim
The HinduThe U.N.’s aviation safety and policy coordinator, the International Civil Aviation Organisation, has clarified that its Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme team did ‘not audit or inspect’ any airline during its visit to India last month. The ICAO clarification assumes significance as it comes in the wake of low-cost carrier SpiceJet’s claim on December 5 that a “comprehensive audit by ICAO firmly establishes SpiceJet’s credentials as a safe airline”. The ICAO team visited India between November 9-16 to examine the safety oversight of the aviation regulator, Director General of Civil Aviation, and review the progress in addressing the findings of an audit conducted in 2018. SpiceJet had issued a regulatory filing to the exchanges on December 5, in which it claimed that “SpiceJet was the only scheduled Indian airline to be audited by ICAO”.
