Fight between 2 flyers forces taxiing SpiceJet plane to return to IGIA terminal; both handed over to CISF

NEW DELHI: SpiceJet handed over two unruly passengers from a Mumbai-bound flight at Delhi airport on Monday. The two women started quarrelling almost as soon as the aircraft started taxiing and even tried to approach the cockpit, say sources. Co-passengers and cabin crew requested them to return to their seats and stop the fight so that the aircraft can take off.

Even the pilot made an announcement to the effect. But when they did not stop their fight, the aircraft returned to the bay where the two were handed over to security agency.

“On July 14, 2025, two unruly passengers were offloaded from SpiceJet flight SG 9282 operating from Delhi to Mumbai. The two attempted to forcefully approach the cockpit and caused a disruption while the aircraft was taxiing. Despite repeated requests by the cabin crew, fellow passengers, and the captain, they refused to return to their seats. In the interest of the safety of all passengers and crew, the captain decided to return the aircraft to the bay, and the passengers were offloaded. They were subsequently handed over to the CISF,” said a SpiceJet spokesperson.
