An Air India passenger is under scrutiny after allegedly breaking the inner pane of an aircraft window during a flight from Chandigarh to Delhi, prompting the airline to initiate disciplinary proceedings that could result in the individual being placed on India’s no-fly list.
The incident occurred aboard flight AI1879 on June 7 as the aircraft was preparing to land at Delhi airport. According to airline officials, the passenger reportedly ignored multiple warnings issued by the cabin crew before damaging the window.

Officials stated that the passenger received several verbal and written cautions from the crew but failed to comply, ultimately smashing the inner glass pane of the aircraft window.
Following established safety protocols, the cockpit crew immediately informed security agencies about the incident before the aircraft landed. Upon arrival in Delhi, airport security personnel took the passenger into custody for further action.
The matter has now been referred to Air India’s internal committee, which will review the incident and determine whether the individual should be officially classified as an “unruly passenger.” If such a designation is made, the committee may recommend placing the passenger on the airline’s no-fly list in accordance with aviation safety regulations.
The incident highlights the aviation industry’s strict stance against disruptive behaviour on board, with airlines empowered to take disciplinary measures against passengers whose actions compromise the safety and security of flights.
