"A cosmetic (interior) window frame on one of the

became loose during flight and was found dislodged," the airline said in a statement.
SpiceJet also said that cabin pressurisation remained normal throughout the flight, and there was no impact on passenger safety, adding that the dislodged part was a non-structural trim component, fitted onto the window for the purpose of shade, and did not compromise the safety or integrity of the aircraft in any way.

The Q400 aircraft is equipped with multiple layers of window panes, including a robust, pressure-bearing outer pane, ensuring that passenger safety is never at risk, even in the unlikely event of a superficial or cosmetic component coming loose," SpiceJet added.
Questioning the airworthiness of the aircraft, a passenger posted a video of the dislodged window on social media platform X.
"#SpiceJet from Goa to Pune today. The whole interior window assembly just fell off mid flight. And this flight is now supposed to take off and head to Jaipur. Wonder if it's air worthy.." the passenger stated, while tagging the aviation safety regulator

Could the electric hydrofoil ferry change the way we commute?
During the golden age for ferries in the 1800s, steamboats dotted the shorelines of coastal cities to transport passengers. Then cars and trains took over. Now, driven by congestion and the revitalisation of urban waterfronts, ferries are making a comeback. But, what operators struggle to offer is a fast, sustainable mode of transit. "Commuters want speed," said Jakob Kuttenkeuler, a professor of naval architecture at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Over the last few months, however, Stockholm has been testing a vessel that may solve that problem: the world's first electric hydrofoil ferry. Developed by a Swedish start-up, Candela, a 30-seat, battery-driven vessel known as the P-12 has almost halved the commute time of a conventional diesel ferry - to 30 minutes - across an 11-mile stretch between the island of Ekero and City Hall in the centre of Stockholm. At the same time, the P-12 emits 95% less emissions than the diesel ferry and uses 80% less energy, according to SL, the Stockholm public transport authority. Gustav Hasselskog, Candela's founder and chief executive, said the realisation, 11 years ago, that his speedboat guzzled 15 times as much fuel as his car had set him on a course to develop an energy-efficient maritime solution. "High-speed passenger ferries and boats are the least fuel-efficient mode of transit in the world because almost all energy is used to push away the water," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 안구건조 걱정 없이 안전하게 강남아이원스안과 지금 신청하기 Undo "If you convert to electric, you need massive amounts of batteries, which are expensive and have limited range. The only way to go far and fast on the same battery is when you hydrofoil." Hydrofoils are the winglike structures mounted under a boat's hull to lift the craft above the water as it gains speed, much as airplane wings do through the air. The technique drastically reduces drag from water friction and allows for faster, more energy-efficient travel. Kuttenkeuler, who invented the Efoil, an electric hydrofoil board that glides above the water's surface, said hydrofoil technology was a common marine transport system in the 1980s but was phased out because of the high operational costs. Advancements in digitalization, composite materials and sensor technology have contributed to its comeback, he added. In addition to the environmental benefits, the electric hydrofoil has several other advantages. The batteries are relatively small, so they do not require massive charging infrastructure. They do not generate waves that erode the shoreline or wreak havoc for windsurfers and moored boats in their wake. And because they are kept level by a computer and soar over the waves, they do not cause seasickness. So far, Mumbai, India, has the most ambitious plans for the P-12. JalVimana, the local shuttle operator, will begin with 11 ferries on popular tourist routes from the Gateway of India to Alibag and Elephanta Island. A third route will connect the airport with the centre of Mumbai, cutting travel time from 90 minutes by car to less than 30 minutes on the water.

Kylie Kelce gets real with Priyanka Chopra Jonas in raw conversation about motherhood struggles and celebrity parenting
Kylie Kelce's podcast moment with Priyanka Chopra (Getty Images) When two powerhouse women like Kylie Kelce and Priyanka Chopra Jonas sit down for a conversation, sparks are bound to fly—especially when the topic is as raw and relatable as motherhood. On a recent episode of Kylie's Not Gonna Lie podcast, the NFL wife and the international superstar didn't just chat—they connected over something far deeper: the complex, messy, and beautiful reality of raising toddlers while juggling careers. Kylie Kelce and Priyanka Chopra Jonas bond over the chaos and beauty of motherhood Kylie Kelce kicked off the episode by asking Priyanka how she manages her work-life balance. The Quantico star didn't shy away from honesty. She admitted that while chaos once energized her in her 30s, her approach has shifted since entering her 40s, settling into marriage, and becoming a mom. 'Now I need structure,' she confessed, describing how planning her day, making to-do lists, and getting everything in order helps her stay grounded. 'It might sound obsessive, but it's second nature now.' For Priyanka, it's less about controlling everything and more about creating a rhythm that supports her peace of mind. Kylie on Jason 'Magic Mike' Stunt, Disney Throwbacks & Bollywood Dance with Priyanka Chopra | Ep. 25 Kylie, who's raising four young daughters with NFL star Jason Kelce, echoed the struggles many parents face—particularly when it comes to traveling with little ones. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo She admitted that flying with her kids gives her anxiety, often discouraging her from traveling at all. That's where Priyanka's practical experience came in handy. The actress shared three go-to tips for making air travel with children less stressful. 'The more you do it, the more they get used to it,' she advised. 'You just have to load them in the car, take them to the airport.' Repetition, she stressed, is key. Her second piece of advice was all about timing and adjusting to new time zones. 'If they are up when it's daytime, let them stay up. Encourage it… so they don't jetlag,' she explained, recommending that parents keep children awake during long daytime flights to help ease transitions. And lastly, Priyanka emphasized the importance of keeping kids entertained. 'Entertainment, entertainment, entertainment,' she laughed. 'That doesn't mean you have to take loads of toys… I have little things in my bag. My daughter's obsessed with Moana. I have little Moana, little mini.' While Priyanka and her husband Nick Jonas are navigating parenthood with one child—Malti Marie, born via surrogacy three and a half years ago—Kylie's world is understandably a bit more chaotic. Her four daughters, including newborn Finnley Anne, make for a bustling household. Despite the contrast in family size, both women are thriving. Their conversation was a refreshing look into how strong, driven women tackle the chaos of motherhood—sometimes with a plan, sometimes just by holding on tight and laughing through it.
