The Indian aviation regulator, DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation), has warned airlines operating Boeing 737 jets about safety concerns related to the rudder components. The DGCA is concerned about the possibility of the rudder control system getting stuck or restricted.
The aircraft rudder is a key system that helps control the direction of the jet. Airlines like Air India Express, SpiceJet, and Akasa operate Boeing 737 planes in India. The DGCA has asked these airlines to assess the safety risks and stop certain types of instrument landings to prevent any issues.

The DGCA has instructed these airlines to conduct safety assessments and stop certain instrument landings as a precaution. In a statement, DGCA said, “All flight crews have been informed about the possibility of the rudder control system jamming or being restricted.
