Passenger Trapped in Plane’s Toilet Sues Airline: SpiceJet’s $60 Solution Fails.
An unsettling event aboard a SpiceJet flight from Mumbai to Bengaluru underlines the grave need for stricter passenger rights, transparency and safety measures in the aviation industry. A 37-year-old passenger found himself locked, fearful, and injured in the aircraft’s lavatory. The swift, casual response of the airline, offering a $60 voucher as compensation, is a pathetic reflection of its lackadaisical attitude towards passenger welfare, proving once again that when profits lead, humanity is left behind.
