SpiceJet Boeing 737 Max en route to Dubai diverts to Karachi

A Boeing 737 Max operated by SpiceJet flying from New Delhi to Dubai diverted to Karachi after an indicator light malfunctioned, according to a spokesman for the Indian low-cost carrier. The plane landed safely and a replacement aircraft is headed to Karachi to pick up passengers and complete the journey, the spokesman said. A Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority spokesperson, who described the incident as an emergency landing, said the plane was carrying 138 passengers. He said there was an issue with the fuel indicator. India’s aviation regulator is investigating, according to an official from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, who said the crew noticed an unusual decrease in fuel in the left tank and decided to divert to Pakistan’s commercial capital. No emergency was declared, the official said, and no fuel leak was observed during inspections after landing.<br/>
