SpiceJet spokesperson said, “Both pilots have been off rostered pending an inquiry. SpiceJet has a strict policy for consumption of food inside the cockpit which is adhered by all flight crew. Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken upon completion of the investigation.”

As they shared the image of Gujiyas in the cockpit, many Twitter users tagged the Directorate General of Civil Aviation and Union Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia. “Appalling and extremely unprofessional behavior,” a user claiming to be an aviation specialist said.
