SpiceJet Flight Window Panel Comes Loose Mid-Air, Airline Assures No Cabin Pressure Loss

A SpiceJet aircraft's window frame dislodged mid-air on Tuesday as it was heading towards Pune from Goa, sending passengers into a frenzy. The airline, however, said cabin pressurisation remained normal throughout the flight and there was no impact on passenger safety.

“A cosmetic window frame on one of SpiceJet’s Q400 aircraft became loose during flight and was found dislodged. It is important to note that this was a non-structural trim component, fitted onto the window for the purpose of shade, and did not compromise the safety or integrity of the aircraft in any way,” the airline said in a statement.

SpiceJet said the frame was fixed upon landing at the next station, in accordance with standard maintenance procedures.
