The crew diverted the flight to Varanasi where it landed without incident. SpiceJet adds that an inspection found a fuel control value had malfunctioned and is being replaced. Aircraft tracking sites identify the aircraft as bearing the registration VT-MAX, which was built in 2018 and is owned by ICBC Leasing.<br/>
