The DGCA has confirmed that the inspection of the Boeing 737 Max aircraft has been completed, and the results are deemed satisfactory. On January 5, the DGCA instructed domestic airlines to promptly examine the emergency exits of all Boeing 737 Max planes in their fleets as a precautionary measure following the Alaska Airlines incident.
According to a Bloomberg report, Reliance Industries stands as the sole company with a corporate jet, a variant of the Boeing 737-9 Max. Reliance Industries incorporated the Boeing 737-9 Max into its corporate fleet last year, with the aircraft registered as 17-LOTUS and featuring a sealed mid-cabin exit door. It's worth noting that Reliance's corporate fleet includes other jets, such as the Embraer SA ERJ 145 aircraft and an Airbus SE A319.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has stated that satisfactory tests have been conducted on the operational fleet of Boeing B737-8 Max aircraft by Air India Express (4), SpiceJet (8), and Akasa (20). Akasa Air also includes a B737-8200 aircraft in its fleet with a mid-cabin door, and operational checks on it have likewise been completed satisfactorily.
