A British Airways flight recently witnessed a serious security lapse when a pilot reportedly left the cockpit door open during mid-air operations, raising questions about airline safety protocols.
According to passengers, the incident occurred on a scheduled flight within Europe. The cockpit door, which is designed to remain locked for security reasons, was allegedly left ajar for several minutes. During this time, crew members were seen moving in and out freely, while passengers noticed the open door.
Aviation experts stress that cockpit doors must remain secured at all times during flight to prevent unauthorized access and ensure adherence to global security guidelines set after the 9/11 attacks. The lapse, though brief, has been flagged as a potential risk that could compromise flight safety.
British Airways has acknowledged awareness of the report and stated that internal checks are being conducted. The airline assured that passenger safety remains its highest priority and that strict compliance with safety procedures is expected from all crew members.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) in the UK is also expected to seek a report from the airline, as regulators have zero tolerance for breaches in cockpit security.
The incident has triggered debate on social media, with some passengers demanding accountability, while others described it as a rare human error.
