A SpiceJet technician died in a freak accident at the Kolkata airport on Wednesday, officials told PTI.
The technician was trapped in landing gear door of aircraft while carrying out maintenance, airport officials said.
Spicejet has not released a statement on the incident yet.
Earlier this month, the main runway at the Mumbai airport was shut for more than three days after a SpiceJet plane from Jaipur veered off it while landing amid heavy rainfall on 1 July night and got stuck in the adjacent grass area.
On 30 June, another SpiceJet plane from Bhopal veered off the runway at the Surat airport due to heavy rainfall and wind, while on 2 July , another plane of the airline veered off its path on the runway while landing at the Kolkata airport, damaging four-runway lights.
Four senior executives of SpiceJet were issued show cause notices by the DGCA on 4 July after a special audit team of the aviation regulator, which probed multiple landing incidents involving the airline, found lapses on their part, PTI reported.
