It's to ward of the evil eye. But no clue where that thing came from!!


Imagine, if they'd do it on airplanes at the nose wheel . None for SpiceJet though. They've got the spice already.

Not noticed it on the Aircraft.However when ever the Coconut is being broken for an Auspicios occasion of 1st flight.I ask the folks to avoid striking the Aircraft.Just in case.

Yes near the Nose Landing Gear.The Garland & Tikka are on the Gear Steering Metering valve cover.The Garland is removed before flight.


Wine bottle breaking on Aircraft would be FOD problematic I guess.

AI might strike the Coconut on the Strut rather.Composite repair is a Time consuming Job.
