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.
