In a written reply in Rajya Sabha, the minister added that technical snags in an aircraft may be caused due to malfunctioning components or equipment fitted on the aircraft and require rectification action by the airlines before the aircraft is released for operation.

The statement added that regulations require the operator to report all such occurrences of snags to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). These occurrences may be a result of equipment malfunction, due to weather, etc. Some of the occurrences such as air turn back, aborted takeoff or a go-around are actions taken by the pilot keeping the safety of operations in view, and are usually taken to avert serious incident/accident, informed the minister.
