What happens if the plane door opens during flight?

If an aircraft door is opened during flight, the following can occur:

1. Strong atmospheric effects: Opening the aircraft door during flight causes a strong air flow inside the aircraft due to the different atmospheric pressure between the inside and the outside, which leads to strong atmospheric effects inside the aircraft.
2. Safety Hazard: Passengers and crew may be at risk of injury due to air forces resulting from rapid movement and air currents.
3. Impact on the stability of the aircraft: Opening the emergency door during flight may affect the stability of the aircraft and cause difficulties in controlling it, requiring an immediate response from the cabin crew to regain control and ensure the safety of passengers.
4. Possibility of flight cancellation: The flight may be canceled if opening the door causes any serious problem, and the plane may be directed to make an emergency landing at the nearest airport.
