A disruptive passenger was forcibly removed from a flight by security personnel before take-off. The incident took place on an Akasa Air flight scheduled to depart from Kempegowda International Airport in Karnataka, India, on October 20, 2025.
The flight was bound for Delhi, but departure was delayed due to the disruption caused by the individual who refused to comply with crew instructions and engaged in a verbal altercation.
Security officers were called to intervene, attempting to reason with the passenger before escorting him off the aircraft. In the video footage, at least five staff members can be seen interacting with the passenger before physically removing him from the plane.
The passenger can be heard shouting as he is escorted down the aisle, eventually leading to a physical confrontation as staff members successfully remove him from the flight. Fellow passengers reacted by laughing and recording the incident, with one individual exclaiming ‘finally’ once the disruptive passenger was taken off the plane.
The outcome following the passenger’s removal from the plane remains unclear at this time. Akasa Air has been contacted for additional details regarding the incident.
