Notably, a large number of airlines’ maintenance technicians are on sick leave for the past five days. They are demanding the restoration of salaries which were reduced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Earlier on July 5, smoke was found inside the cabin after the Raipur-Indore Indigo flight landed. However, all the passengers were able to disembark safely, the DGCA said.
