A member of the cabin crew always separately and directly briefs the passengers occupying the seats next to these doors on how to open them in an emergency. When a door is ‘disarmed’, it means the inflatable slide has been deactivated. In fact, the seats next to the emergency exits have more leg space, and are hence more comfortable. This is not the first time that a passenger has tried to open an aircraft’s emergency door. However, you must never try to open the door — it affects flight safety, constitutes a violation of regulatory rules, and you will be liable for action.

"It's important to look at the facts. The door was opened by him [Surya] by mistake when the flight was on the ground," the minister said.

Aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Tuesday said that on December 10, a passenger opened the emergency door creating a scare among passengers in IndiGo 6E flight 6E-7339 from Chennai to Tiruchirappalli. A day after reports emerged saying BJP's Tejasvi Surya opened the emergency door on an IndiGo flight, Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Wednesday said Surya opened the gate by mistake when the flight was on the ground. His response comes just a day after Congress leader Randeep Surjewala attacked the BJP and shared a report which said it was Surya who opened the emergency gate of the flight.

It emerged that Tejasvi Surya had opened the emergency exit door on an IndiGo flight from Chennai to Tiruchirapalli last month.

The door was opened by him by mistake when the flight was on the ground and after all checks, the flight was allowed to take off. It’s about the safety of the passengers that was at risk because of the childish behaviour of MP and BJP State chief. The incident happened on IndiGo flight 6E 7339 on December 10, 2022, when the cabin crew of an ATR-72 aircraft were giving safety instructions to passengers seated in the emergency row.

“Why would Surya endanger his own life and that of others by mischievously opening the emergency exit?” The passenger added that the note he wrote was not an apology but an incident report. He said, “Realising immediately that the emergency exit was out of its place, Surya alerted the cabin crew.

BJP's Tejasvi Surya 'mistakenly' opened the emergency door of an IndiGo flight from Chennai to Tiruchirapalli, causing a delay of more than two hours.

He was later arrested and handed over to the local police. Similarly, on 10 February 2017, a passenger on an IndiGo Mumbai-Chandigarh flight opened the plane’s emergency exit before take-off. The passenger was off-loaded, and a case was registered against him. As per SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures), the incident was logged and the aircraft underwent mandatory engineering checks, which led to a delay in the flight’s departure.” However, many aviation experts and politicians questioned how a passenger, who had compromised the safety of others, was let off only with an “apology letter” and furthermore, why it took a month for the incident to come to light. The passenger was later arrested for the act. “We were immediately disembarked from the plane and the flight was delayed by over two hours,” the co-flyer was quoted as saying, adding that Surya did apologise to passengers for his action in the bus in which they waited for about two hours before being allowed to board the aircraft. A passenger on board the same plane was quoted as telling Deccan Herald that the flight was ready for take-off when Surya pulled the lever leading to the opening of the emergency exit. As the political pow-wow rages on, let’s take a closer look at the incident in question and also the importance of emergency doors in planes. The door was opened by him by mistake when the flight was on the ground and after all checks, the flight was allowed to take off. BJP's Tejasvi Surya ‘mistakenly’ opened the emergency door of an IndiGo flight from Chennai to Tiruchirapalli, causing a delay of more than two hours. The passenger’s name has now come to the fore and it was none other than Tejasvi Surya, national president of the BJP Yuva Morcha and the party’s Bengaluru South MP.
