SpiceJet Passenger Trapped in Plane Toilet for an Hour Due to Door Lock Malfunction
In an unfortunate incident, a passenger on a SpiceJet flight was trapped in the toilet for over an hour due to a malfunctioning door lock. The incident took place during a flight from Mumbai to Bengaluru, when the passenger decided to use the washroom after takeoff. However, upon trying to exit, he discovered that the lock was jammed.
Despite efforts from the crew to unlock the door from the outside, they were unsuccessful. It was only after the plane landed in Bengaluru that an engineer was able to free the passenger from his confinement. SpiceJet has expressed regret for the inconvenience caused and has apologized to the passenger. Additionally, the airline has promised a full refund on the passenger’s airfare.
The incident comes at a time when airline service providers have been facing criticism for various reasons. Winter conditions in north India have resulted in numerous flight delays, with passengers complaining about the lack of communication and assistance from airlines. In another recent incident, a passenger attacked a pilot on an IndiGo flight while he was explaining the delay. Air India also made headlines for a 17-hour delay, during which passengers had to eat their meals on the runway.
The entrapment of the SpiceJet passenger highlights the need for improved safety measures and prompt response in such situations.
