**SpiceJet Flight Chaos: Passengers Evacuated Over Faulty AC**
Frustration erupted on a SpiceJet flight from Delhi to Kathmandu as passengers faced unbearable heat due to a malfunctioning air conditioning system. The incident occurred on Thursday during flight SG 41, leading to a chaotic scene as travelers expressed their distress after being confined in the sweltering cabin. A viral video captured the moment, showing passengers fanning themselves with newspapers and magazines while waiting for a resolution.
This incident marks the second occurrence of such a situation within just 12 hours. Earlier, over 200 passengers on an Air India flight bound for Singapore were deplaned after enduring nearly two hours without air conditioning. The Air India flight, AI 2380, was scheduled to depart around 11 PM on September 10 but faced delays due to a fault in the aircraft’s air conditioning and electrical systems.
SpiceJet acknowledged the technical issue with their aircraft, stating that efforts were underway to resolve the problem. Passengers eventually disembarked from the SpiceJet flight, highlighting ongoing concerns about air travel comfort and safety.
This is not the first time SpiceJet has faced criticism over air conditioning issues. In July, a similar incident occurred on a Delhi-Mumbai flight, where two passengers attempted to enter the cockpit after becoming upset with the heat. That flight was delayed for nearly seven hours before taking off.
As air travel continues to recover, incidents like these raise questions about airline preparedness and passenger comfort.
