In a bizarre incident, a passenger on a SpiceJet flight from Mumbai to Bengaluru found himself trapped inside the aircraft’s lavatory for over an hour due to a malfunctioning door lock. The ordeal took place on SpiceJet flight SG-268, originally scheduled for a 10:55 pm departure from Mumbai on Monday but delayed until 2 am on Tuesday.
The passenger, who entered the lavatory after the seat belt sign went off following takeoff, was unable to open the door and remained stuck throughout the flight’s duration. The SpiceJet crew attempted to assist by passing a note to the passenger through a gap in the door, explaining the situation and advising him not to panic.
