Narrative:
Spicejet flight SG467, a Boeing 737 MAX 8, returned to Mumbai after the crew shut down an engine.

The aircraft, VT-MXE, was operating its eighth flight after resuming commercial service following a long time storage. The aircraft had been stored since 13 March 2019 due to the worldwide grounding of all Boeing 737 MAX aircraft over safety concerns. India lifted the ban at the end of August 2021.
