Overview

  • SpiceJet says engineers resecured the dislodged interior window frame upon landing at Pune under standard maintenance protocols.
  • The airline reiterated that cabin pressure remained stable throughout the flight, citing the Q400’s multi-layer window panes that safeguard structural integrity.
  • A passenger-posted video on X triggered a DGCA notification after showing the loose cosmetic trim mid-flight.
  • Cabin crew calmed panicked travellers and moved a mother and her infant away from the affected window, briefly reattaching the panel in flight.
  • The incident follows a 90-minute departure delay due to technical issues, prompting questions about SpiceJet’s communication with passengers.
