Call it power of the passenger or reflection of the economic conditions of the airline, but the fact remains that for the first time, a SpiceJet airline aircraft was grounded. Demand for air traffic was rising after so many long months of little or no growth in passenger bookings. The passenger quickly took advantage of technology and used his phone to take pictures of what he saw and sent them to the ground staff. Upon completion, the DGCA inspected the repair work in the cabin and then allowed SpiceJet to fly the aircraft again. Whatever the reasons may have been, at the very least, this incident demonstrates that an alert passenger who acts quickly can play an important role in aircraft conditions.
