A SpiceJet flight traveling from Delhi to Pune faces passenger protests after air conditioning reportedly fails, causing cabin temperatures to rise before take-off. Passengers and some cabin crew describe the conditions as extremely hot, with multiple accounts comparing the experience to a “gas chamber” due to the discomfort and difficulty breathing reported by travelers.
The incident centers on what occurs prior to departure, with reports indicating that while passengers are struggling with the heat, pilots are preparing for take-off. The accounts emphasize the immediate passenger experience—rising temperatures and discomfort—while providing limited detail on the cause of the AC malfunction, how long it lasts, or what steps the airline takes in response. Some reporting focuses on the language used by passengers during the protest, while others highlight breathing difficulties as the key concern.
Overall, both outlets describe the same core event: an apparent AC failure aboard the Delhi–Pune flight, leading to protests from passengers due to extreme heat and related distress before departure.
