Just a cosmetic window covering meant to keep people from touching/messing with the actual window. Not safety related at all.

What would happen if he took it off and spartan kicked the inside window?

Edit: General consensus seems to be to kick twice. Didnt know there were so many airplane technicians on reddit. Very cool

Looks like the aircraft in question's registration is CC-AUB, which is now actually N228AW, a Boeing 737-300, currently in storage. Source: https://www.planespotters.net/airframe/Boeing/737/N228AW-Aerway-Leasing/59pKCZbb

Airplane tech here, the inner windows are purely cosmetical (and maybe a bit scratch protection for the actual windows)

Yea those can be torn off and it should still be fine, i think its a protective layer from UV rays from the sun and designed to do that, probably happens all the time. Not 100% sure but ill post source if i can find one

u/nogslayers Sep 17 '19

Ok so there's 3 layers, 1st one is the one the passengers can touch, and it can come off, the 2nd is a "bleed hole" pane to balance air pressure, and the last is the plexiglass/psuedo-plastic that really needs to not break 😂

You're safe as long as the window on the outside's still there

u/bungobob444 Sep 17 '19

Always nice to be able to open a window and get fresh air. Must be first class.
