In a separate incident, earlier in August, passengers on a SpiceJet flight from Delhi to Pune were left distressed for several hours after the aircraft developed an air-conditioning problem, as HT reported earlier.

At the time, a SpiceJet spokesperson said in an official statement that SpiceJet flight SG 105, scheduled to travel from Delhi to Pune, encountered a last-minute technical issue on August 11, 2026.

“An alternate aircraft was arranged, and the flight subsequently operated to Pune. The air conditioning remained operational throughout,” the spokesperson had noted.
