- The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is investigating Tuesday’s incident, along with the previous 5 incidents, the officials reported.
The Boeing 737 Max aircraft — which was heading from Delhi to Dubai — began showing remarkable fuel quantity reduction from its left tank when it was mid-air, they told. Therefore, the plane was delayed to Karachi, they reported.
