Agroup of five people were
off-loaded from IndiGo's Delhi-Jeddah flight on Tuesday for "unruly behaviour"
with one of them trying to forcibly open a door of the aircraft as it was
taxiing for takeoff, insisting that their two companions who lost their boarding
passes be allowed to take the flight, officials said.
As the incident
unfolded on board, the pilot brought the plane back to the parking bay and
off-loaded the group.
The flight departed from the Delhi airport after a
delay of around three hours, the official said on Wednesday.
Confirming
the incident, IndiGo said in a statement, "Some passengers displayed unruly
behaviour and were off-loaded to continue flight operations. A report has been
filed with the relevant authorities as per protocol."
"A group of 110
passengers of connecting flight from Srinagar were travelling on this A321neo
aircraft. Their two co-passengers were off-loaded at boarding gate as they had
lost their boarding passes.
"During taxiing (for takeoff) the group
leader demanded that two members of their group be accepted on board. Crew
stopped him and convinced him to be seated on his place but again passenger
shouted on board and tried to open the door," the official told
PTI.
Accordingly, the captain decided to return to parking
bay.
Along with the group leader, three female and a male co-passengers
were also off-loaded from the plane, according to the official.
The
official stated that once the passengers were deplaned, anti-sabotage drill was
performed.
