A Cape Air flight<\/a> was forced to return to Nantucket, Massachusetts, on Monday shortly after takeoff when part of its cabin door opened in midair.<\/p>\n

The small plane had just departed from Nantucket Memorial Airport (ACK) and was on its way to Boston when the issue occurred, according to news outlet Nantucket Current.<\/p>\n

An Instagram video<\/a> recorded by a passenger on board shows the upper section of the main cabin door partially opening mid-flight \u2014 with plenty of commenters immediately weighing in on the incident.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite what happened, the aircraft remained stable and continued to operate normally.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Cape Air for comment about the incident.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pilot turned the plane around and landed back in Nantucket, without any reported injuries, the outlet noted.<\/p>\n

Passengers were later transferred to another aircraft to complete their trip to Boston, with several praising the pilot for remaining calm under pressure.<\/p>\n

“The pilot was amazing,” a passenger told the Current<\/a>. “The pilot did not panic but safely brought us back around the island to land. Probably flew for about 6 to\u00a08 minutes with the door open.”<\/p>\n

The airline confirmed the incident to the local outlet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The aircraft was at a stable altitude and operated normally. The flight crew returned to ACK, and the aircraft landed safely without further incident,” the airline’s statement said.<\/p>\n

That particular \u00a0aircraft has since been taken out of service<\/a> as the company investigates what caused the issue.<\/p>\n

“We are following all established safety procedures and will take any necessary actions based on our findings,” the company said \u2014 adding that passenger safety remains its top priority.<\/p>\n

Users commented on the video the passenger posted \u2014 with many striking a lighter note about the situation.<\/p>\n

“Isn’t it a little cold for the window to be open at this time of the year?” one user wrote.<\/p>\n

Another user commented, “A little fresh air can’t hurt.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital previously reported on another airline situation<\/a> that caused disruptions.<\/p>\n

A Delta flight at Pittsburgh International was left waiting on the tarmac after a flight attendant accidentally deployed the aircraft’s emergency slide \u2014 delaying passengers onboard.<\/p>\n

The mistake required maintenance crews to remove the slide before passengers could safely exit. Such incidents can cause airlines tens of thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n
