Overview

• Flight SG-914 from Pune to Delhi aborted takeoff on July 13 due to a technical fault and finally departed at 9:05 pm after a nine-hour delay.
• On July 14, two passengers on Delhi-Mumbai flight SG-9282 refused to fasten seatbelts and attempted to force their way into the cockpit, prompting a return to the bay and a 7:21 pm departure.
• Passengers on SG-914 reported nearly an hour of onboard detention and air-conditioning failures before reboarding, allegations SpiceJet denies while affirming cabin cooling and timely schedule updates.
• The two women involved in the cockpit breach attempt remain in CISF custody pending investigation as SpiceJet highlights its swift offloading procedures and safety-first response.
• The back-to-back incidents underscore ongoing operational challenges as the DGCA enforces stricter screening, alcohol limits and rapid offloading protocols to deter unruly behaviour.
