Contrary to passengers' fears, the dislodged item was not an entire window but just the interior frame. The airline confirmed that cabin pressure remained normal throughout the flight.

In its statement, the airline said the detached object was a "cosmetic (interior) window frame" on one of its Q400 aircraft and that it was only used for shading.

"It did not compromise the safety or integrity of the aircraft in any way," it added.

The airline further added that in cases where the interior of the window is affected, there is a pressure-bearing outer pane that ensures structural safety.
