New Delhi, July 12

Budget carrier SpiceJet’s Dubai-Madurai flight was delayed on Monday after its Boeing B737 Max aircraft’s nose wheel malfunctioned.

Today’s incident was the ninth incident of technical malfunction in a SpiceJet aircraft in 24 days. The aircraft was operating on the Mangaluru-Dubai route. After the aircraft landed in Dubai, an engineer found the nose wheel was compressed. The engineer, therefore, decided to ground the aircraft.

“Flight delays can happen with any airline There has been no safety scare on this flight,” SpiceJet said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
