This, when the Directorate General of Civil Aviation has already ordered a probe into the matter. The flight's cockpit crew was taken off duty following the incident and Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) had started an investigation into the matter.

On Thursday, 30 out of 166 passengers on board a Jet Airways Mumbai-Jaipur flight suffered nose and ear bleeding due to a loss in cabin pressure in the flight.
