According to Mr. Kumar’s complaint, the crew members and the pilot in command issued an oral warning to the passenger when he began verbally abusing them. Later, following lunch service, a smoke alarm went off. He smelt smoke as soon as he opened the bathroom door and caught the passenger with a lighter.

“The moment I opened the door in front of the passenger, he pushed me aside and sprinted to seat 26F. He pushed and abused me as well when I tried to stop him. The LAV door 3F-RC was afterward broken by him.

Air India Express Aircraft Engine Part Falls Outside Delhi Airport; DGCA Orders Probe

Air India Express flight skids off runway while landing at Kochi airport

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has launched an inquiry following reports that metal fragments were discovered at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport after an Air India Express flight made an emergency landing on Monday evening.

The emergency landing was prompted by a detected engine fault, but fortunately, the landing was executed safely without any injuries to the passengers.

The situation began when crew members of the Air India Express flight reported an engine issue, leading to the emergency landing. The DGCA has confirmed that a thorough investigation is underway and has directed that the aircraft undergo a comprehensive safety inspection.

The discovery of metal debris outside the airport has raised concerns, prompting the DGCA to probe whether these fragments are linked to the aircraft involved in the emergency landing. Authorities are particularly focused on whether the metal pieces, which were found near the airport, originated from the same Air India Express flight that experienced engine trouble.

While preliminary assessments suggest that the debris could be a broken blade from an aircraft engine, the exact source remains unconfirmed. The airline has yet to verify if the metal fragments are from their aircraft.

As the investigation continues, a case has been filed with the airport authority to address the matter.
