India: Passengers travelling on a SpiceJet flight bound for Pune faced considerable discomfort after the aircraft developed a technical problem linked to its air-conditioning system. Travellers reported rising temperatures inside the cabin, with several turning to social media to share videos of people fanning themselves in an effort to stay cool.

The issue prompted the airline to arrange an alternate aircraft for the journey.

The carrier issued a statement expressing deep regret for the inconvenience caused to all affected passengers.
