He added that the supervisors kept creating narratives of flights being delayed due to crew on the way and they actually were “fooling” customers. Another staff member said that it was due to the pilot, who was supposed to be on the plane and got sick at the last moment.
Many agitated passengers claimed that the delay cost them their connecting flight to Qatar. Another passenger added that “It was a very bad experience. There were around 200 passengers who were at the airport and there was no clarity from the airline. No water was offered until 11:50 pm,”.
Air India spokesperson added that the flight was delayed due to technical reasons.
