Mumbai: A male passenger was stuck inside the lavatory of a Mumbai-Bengaluru SpiceJet flight on Tuesday for the entire travel duration of 1 hour and 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, after the flight arrived at Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport (KIA), an engineer was rushed to address the malfunctioning lavatory door, which was then successfully opened, a spokesperson confirmed.
The spokesperson also added that the passenger was completely traumatized due to claustrophobia and was immediately attended to by medical professionals for the check-up.
Following the take-off of the flight at 2 a.m. on Tuesday, a 14th-row passenger went to the toilet and got stuck inside for more than an hour. In the wake of the episode, the crew penned a note down and slipped it under the toilet door to calm the passenger down. The heartwarming note is circulating over social media; it reads, "Sir, we tried our best to open the door. However, we could not open. Do not panic, we are landing in a few minutes. So please close the commode lid and sit on it, and secure yourself. As soon as the main door is open, an engineer will come. Do not panic."
