Army Officer’s Airport Rage: SpiceJet Demands No-Fly List After Srinagar Assault
A SpiceJet passenger, identified as an Army officer, allegedly assaulted four ground staff members at Srinagar Airport on August 3, 2025. The incident reportedly stemmed from a dispute over excess baggage charges.
The airline claims the officer inflicted serious injuries, including a spinal fracture, on its staff. SpiceJet has filed a formal police complaint detailing the alleged assault.
A counter-FIR has been registered, with the officer also lodging a complaint. The exact nature of the officer’s allegations remains unclear.
SpiceJet is actively cooperating with the authorities and has requested a no-fly list be imposed on the officer. The airline is seeking justice for its injured employees.
This incident raises serious concerns about passenger behaviour and the safety of airport staff. The outcome will set a crucial precedent for handling such violent confrontations at Indian airports, impacting both airline security and passenger conduct.
