A SpiceJet De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Dash 8-400 experienced a cracked windshield outer pane, and continued to land at destination Mumbai airport with no pressurization issues.

In a statement, SpiceJet says the Dash 8-400, was enroute to Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport from Kandla Airport in north western India, when the windshield outer pane cracked.

The Dash 8-400, local registration VT-SUV, was cruising at 23,000 feet (7010 m), when the P2 side windshield outer pane cracked, it reports.

A SpiceJet spokesperson tells Smart Aviation Asia Pacific that the P2 side windshield refers to the co-pilot’s side cockpit window.

The flight crew decided to continue to the destination, requesting a priority landing and safely landing at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, as pressurization was observed to be normal, it reports.
