During a SpiceJet flight from Mumbai to Bengaluru, a passenger endured an unfortunate situation, spending the entire journey locked inside the aircraft’s restroom. The airline has issued an apology and offered a refund. The passenger was stuck in the lavatory until the flight landed in Bengaluru.
Ground staff and engineers had to force open the jammed door. The incident occurred on a flight that was significantly delayed, departing Mumbai at 2:10 AM. The passenger, seated in seat 14D, entered the restroom shortly after takeoff. The door malfunctioned, trapping the passenger.
Crew members’ efforts to open the door were unsuccessful, leading them to slip a handwritten note under the door, instructing the passenger to remain calm and stay seated until arrival. The note became a viral sensation, with netizens sharing their amusement. The flight landed in Bengaluru around 3:45 AM, and the door was subsequently opened by airport engineers. SpiceJet has expressed regret over the incident and apologized to the affected passenger.
