DGCA asks airlines to inspect emergency exits of their Boeing 737-8 Max planes

New Delhi, 6/1: Aviation regulator DGCA on Saturday directed domestic airlines to immediately carry out inspection of emergency exits of all Boeing 737-8 Max planes in their fleet.

The directive comes in the wake of the Alaska Airlines incident involving Boeing 737-9 Max aircraft. On Friday, the Alaska Airlines plane’s outer section, including a window, fell off mid-air.
