A SpiceJet flight from Mumbai to Bengaluru saw a passenger spending the entire flight confined to the aircraft’s lavatory due to a malfunctioning door lock. The airline has issued an apology and offered a refund to the affected passenger. The incident, which took place on a flight delayed by two hours, began when the passenger entered the restroom shortly after takeoff and found themselves unable to open the door.
Crew members attempted to resolve the issue, but the door remained locked. As a way to reassure the trapped passenger, the crew slipped a handwritten note under the door, requesting that they remain seated until the plane landed in Bengaluru. After the flight landed, the door was opened by airport personnel. The unusual event has become a source of online humor, with social media users commenting on the situation and the handwritten note.
