Mid-Air Scare: Window Frame of Goa-Pune Flight Dislodges; SpiceJet Says ‘No Safety Risk’

  • A window frame dislodged mid-air on SpiceJet flight SG-1080 traveling from Goa to Pune on July 1, causing a scare among passengers.
  • The flight was delayed by an hour and a half due to technical issues before departing at 6:55 pm, and the frame popped out about half an hour after takeoff.
  • The detached piece was an interior decorative element attached to the window to provide shade, and throughout the flight, cabin pressure remained stable without any risk to passenger safety.
  • A passenger, Mandar Sawant, described the incident as 'damn concerning' and noted a woman with a baby nearby got scared while crew tried to calm everyone down.
  • SpiceJet fixed the window frame upon landing at Pune per maintenance procedures and emphasized that passenger safety was never at risk despite the cosmetic component coming loose.
