Overview

  • On July 14, flight SG-9282 from Delhi to Mumbai was delayed nearly seven hours after two women refused seat-belt instructions, quarreled mid-taxi and attempted to breach the cockpit.
  • The captain returned the Boeing 737 to the bay, offloaded the mother-daughter pair and handed them over to CISF, leading the airline to file a police complaint for violent behaviour.
  • A day earlier, SpiceJet flight SG-914 from Pune to Delhi aborted take-off due to a technical fault and eventually departed around 9:05 pm after a nine-hour delay.
  • SpiceJet denied claims that passengers endured two hours onboard during the Pune-Delhi snag, stating they were deplaned after about an hour and informed of revised departure times.
  • Both incidents are now closed operationally as the airline restores normal schedules under new DGCA guidelines on unruly behaviour and Boeing safety inspections.
