An Akasa Air flight from Bengaluru to Delhi faced a chaotic situation when a passenger behaved unruly and had to be physically restrained by the crew. According to reports, the incident happened on flight QP 1599. The airline said the crew followed standard procedures to protect the safety of everyone on board. Sources reported that the passenger was drunk and initially started an argument with another traveller. When the crew asked him to leave the plane at Bengaluru airport, he refused and even argued with the security. In the end, the staff had to physically remove the passenger from the aircraft. The airline confirmed the incident and shared that such steps are taken only to ensure the safety of all passengers. The person who recorded the video praised the crew for staying calm and handling the tense situation professionally. According to the individual, some were filming, some were laughing and others were simply confused, as everyone just wanted to leave. Drunk Passenger On Flight Argues With Traveller And Crew Taking to Instagram, the passenger wrote, “You know those days when everything goes perfectly fine, until one person decides to ruin the peace? Boarded my Akasa flight from Bangalore to Delhi, on time, calm vibes, everyone seated. Cabin lights dimmed, seatbelts on, engines ready. And then chaos walked in. A drunk passenger started arguing, shouting, refusing to sit down. Crew members handled it like absolute professionals (salute to them), but the drama didn’t stop there.” “People recording, some laughing, some just staring at each other like, ‘Is this really happening right now?’ Minutes turned into hours. The flight that was supposed to take off on time turned into a live reality show at 35,000 feet, except we hadn’t even taken off yet. The energy in the cabin shifted. From chill to irritated to ‘Please let us go home already.’ And the funniest part? One single person caused delays for hundreds. Sometimes it’s not turbulence in the sky that delays you, it’s the turbulence people bring on board. So here’s a reminder, travel respectfully. You’re not the only one on that plane,” he added.
