Oxygen masks deploy on Delhi-Leh Jet flight, plane grounded

An alleged case of pilot error led to a close shave for 123 people on board Jet Airways’ Delhi-Leh flight on Tuesday morning. The aircraft cabin reportedly started de-pressurizing while flight 9W 2368 was landing in Leh and that led to the oxygen masks being deployed.

The aircraft, with 114 passengers and seven crew members, landed safely in Leh. The Boeing 737 was later grounded there. The directorate general of civil aviation (DGCA) is probing the incident.
