A Times of India report said that the issue emerged after a surprise check by the Federal Aviation Authority on Friday at the Chicago O’Hare International Airport.

Though not a security threat, authorities did not allow the flight to take off without the mandatory tags bearing their technical standard order (TSO) number. As many as 44 passenger seats and 12 flight attendant seats were affected by the hold-up.
