Mumbai: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Thursday evening grounded United States carrier United Airlines' aircraft in Mumbai after finding major damage in its engine cover. According to sources in DGCA, the aircraft is damaged and that the craft's lower cowl is missing. However, the airline has said that cowl is intact but merely damaged.
This comes after the US Federal Aviation Authority had downgraded Indian civil aviation to category 2 in aviation safety. US downgraded Indian Civil aviation three weeks ago subjecting its airlines to extensive checks. This downgrade means that Indian carriers will not be able to add flights to US and they can be held up indefinitely for checks.
Sources have suggested that the DGCA is also acting tough in retaliation.
