#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 itâs air worthy @ShivAroor @VishnuNDTV @DGCAIndia pic.twitter.com/x5YV3Qj2vu

In its statement, the airline said the detached object was a "cosmetic (interior) window frame" on one of its Q400 aircraft and that it was only used for shading.
"It did not compromise the safety or integrity of the aircraft in any way," it added.
The airline further added that in cases where the interior of the window is affected, there is a pressure-bearing outer pane that ensures structural safety.
