NEW DELHI: A passenger on an IndiGo aircraft that was to operate from Chennai to Tiruchirapalli last month accidentally opened the emergency exit when the aircraft was on ground and boarding was on.

The aircraft then had to undergo required checks before it could fly, leading to a delay in take off.A senior Directorate General of Civil Aviation official said: “The event of December 10, 2022, was duly reported.
