A passenger onboard a Delhi-Varanasi SpiceJet flight on Saturday tried to open the emergency exit while the plane was still in the air. He was restrained by crew members with help of other passengers before the individual could open the emergency exit.
The crew instantly informed the flight Captain about the situation, who then requested the Air Traffic Controller (ATC) for a priority landing.
Talking about the incident, a SpiceJet spokesperson said: “An un-presidential incident happened on Saturday in Varanasi-bound SpiceJet flight. A passenger suddenly stood and went to the emergency door and tried to open the door on board when the aircraft was already airborne.”
After the safe landing in Varanasi, the passenger was handed over to the local police.
This isn’t the first time a passenger has attempted to open an airplane’s door during a flight. Just last week, in a similar incident, Spirit Airlines confirmed that an individual tried to open the aircraft’s on a flight from Cleveland to Los Angeles.

Dozens of rare birds were spotted running wild in a Hertfordshire housing estate in the United Kingdom (UK).
According to details, many rheas were seen running wild in residential areas and along the busy M25 road in Three Rivers District.
The police have asked the residents not to approach the “fast” animals as they are “aggressive if cornered”.

Rheas are native to South America and are similar to an ostrich in appearance, but a little smaller. They are sometimes kept as pets in the UK and there have been incidents of them running away from the owners in the past.
“Many incidents have been reported of them attacking dogs and deer, so we ask that dog owners are attentive when out walking,” said the police.
Officials said that they have been unable to find the birds’ owner or determine their origin.
Police Constable Christian Gottmann of the Rickmansworth and District Safer Neighborhood Team said, “These birds are certainly an unusual sight on the streets of Three Rivers, and we want to reassure the public that we are working in partnership with Three Rivers District Council, Highways and our Rural Operational Support Team to come up with a plan to capture and rehome the birds to a suitable animal reserve.”
