The hole is there for passengers’ safety. The holes in the windows of the airplanes help in regulating the cabin pressure. Nearly every cabin window consists of three panes: the outer pane, the middle pane and the inner pane. All the panes are made up of a super strong and sturdy synthetic resin. The middle pane that exists between the outer pane and the inner pane normally has these holes in it. Whereas the inner pane is purely a failsafe in the case of outer pane fracture, the outer and the middle panes are structural.

According to the studies, the small hole is there to operate as a bleed regulator, tolerating the pressure between the atmosphere in the passenger’s cabin and the atmosphere between the outer and the middle panes in equal ratio.
