The SpiceJet spokesperson informed that all the passengers have disembarked safely. Further details are awaited.</p>
<p>
This is the second such incident involving a Delhi-Jabalpur flight this month. Earlier on June 19, also a Jabalpur-bound SpiceJet flight was forced to return back at the Delhi Airport after attaining a height of 6,000 ft.</p>
<p>
The spokesperson at the time said the cabin pressure differential was unable to be built up as the altitude of the plane rose from the ground.</p>
<p>
"On 19 June, Spicejet Q400 aircraft was operating SG-2962 (Delhi-Jabalpur). During the initial climb, the crew observed cabin pressure differential was not building up along with rising in cabin altitude. The aircraft was levelled off at 6000 ft. Pressurization was not regained," the spokesperson had said.</p>
