In the video accessed by ANI, the flight crew and passengers are seen involved in an argument after a male passenger allegedly behaved inappropriately with a female crew member.
“On January 23, 2023, SpiceJet wet-leased Corendon aircraft was scheduled to operate SG-8133 (Delhi – Hyderabad). During boarding at Delhi, one passenger behaved in an unruly and inappropriate manner, harassing and causing disturbance to the cabin crew. The crew informed the PIC and security staff of the same. The said passenger and a co-passenger, who were travelling together, were offloaded and handed over to the security team,” the airline said in a statement.
On the other hand, those accompanying the passenger claimed that it was an accident due to the confined area on the flight.
The passenger later gave a written apology, but he was offloaded to avoid any further conflicts.
