Pilots of a SriLankan Airlines<\/strong> flight from Sydney to Colombo were involved in a tense verbal altercation, with one of them being locked out of the cockpit of an Airbus A330, aviation sources said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A cabin crew member intervened to defuse the situation and ensure that the copilot could return to the cockpit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sri Lankan airlines in a statement on Monday confirmed an incident on UL607, and said the captain has since been grounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flight took off without incident until the female First Officer requested a toilet break. Standard safety procedures require another member of the cabin crew, usually the purser, to enter the cockpit to accompany the pilot flying at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the First Officer waiting to enter toilet and before a cabin crew member had entered the cockpit, the captain had closed the door and allegedly refused to reopen it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Words were exchanged via the communication link between the cockpit and outside, and it reportedly took considerable effort from a crew member to persuade the captain to end the standoff, according to a source familiar with the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the flight landed safely in Colombo, the First Officer lodged a complaint, which has now been referred to the Civil Aviation Authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSriLankan Airlines confirms that an investigation is currently underway in accordance with civil aviation regulations regarding the incident on flight UL 607 from Sydney to Colombo today,\u201d the airline said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company indicated that it was \u201cfully cooperating with the relevant authorities, and the captain has been grounded pending the outcome of the investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline stressed that safety and compliance with all regulatory requirements remained its top priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
