New Delhi: The recent mishandling of an aircraft’s emergency door, involving an Indigo flight, was the only such incident reported in the last five years, the ministry of civil aviation informed Parliament on Monday.
The information came in response to a question in the Rajya Sabha by Trinamool Congress (TMC) lawmaker Mohammed Nadimul Haque and Communist Party of India (Marxist) members Elamaram Kareem and John Brittas, who sought the details of the incident that took place on the Chennai-Trichy Indigo flight in December last year. They also sought to know the details of the person involved in the incident.
“During the last five years, one incident has come to notice of DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) regarding opening of emergency exit door, while the aircraft was on ground.
