Man arrested after trying to enter cockpit of Air India’s Milan bound flight

An Air India flight from Milan to Delhi on Thursday returned to the origin airport after a passenger on board attempted to force open the cockpit door. An Air India official said, an unruly passenger, Gurpreet Singh, tried to enter the cockpit after takeoff from Milan. The aircraft with 250 passengers on board, landed back in Milan and Singh was handed over to the local police.

However, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner was fuelled up for an 8-hour flight to Delhi, and therefore the captain had to dump fuel mid-air to reduce the weight of the aircraft for a safe landing.

Once the passenger was handed over to the local police, the flight took off after around two-and-a-half hours.
