A chat between couples delayed the the flight in Mangaluru

The woman passenger who raised the alarm about a strange text message she received on a fellow traveler’s phone caused a six-hour delay on the Mangaluru-Mumbai flight.

According to the police, before the IndiGo flight was permitted to depart for Mumbai on Sunday evening, all of the passengers were asked to disembark the plane, and their luggage was carefully examined for any signs of sabotage. On the plane, a man had a message on his phone, which a female passenger spotted and reported to the flight attendants.

The flight, which was about to take off, returned to the bay when the crew informed the air traffic controller. While waiting for a flight to Bengaluru from the same airport, the man was conversing with his girlfriend. Due to lengthy questioning that prevented the man from boarding the aircraft, his girlfriend missed her journey to the capital of Karnataka.

After carefully inspecting the luggage, all 185 passengers were later reboarded for the trip to Mumbai, which took off at 5 o’clock. According to local police commissioner N Shashi Kumar, no complaints have been made as of late because it was just a casual conversation between two friends about security.
