Mumbai:

An IndiGo flight from Mumbai to Qatar has been delayed with passengers alleging that they waited inside the aircraft for nearly five hours. The passengers claimed they were eventually asked to deboard the plane to Doha — which was scheduled to take off at 3:55 am — and were taken to the immigration waiting area at the Mumbai airport due to some “technical issue” with the aircraft.

“We were not allowed to deboard the plane because immigration was over,” a passenger, who was flying with his wife and a child, told NDTV.

“They allowed us to wait in a holding area after we fought with them. No authorities are responding,” he alleged.

Another flyer said that they were not given any water or food.

“People are worried. Their jobs are at risk. Passengers are waiting with their children,” he said.

Details about the number of passengers onboard the plane could not be immediately ascertained.

There was no official statement from IndiGo. However, the airline responded to a user on X, who alleged that the flight to Doha was “stuck” at Mumbai Airport due to a “technical problem”.

“The immigration authority is not giving permission to offload the passengers,” the flyer wrote on X, to which the airline said it “sincerely regrets the inconvenience”.

Earlier Saturday, passengers of a SpiceJet flight going from Delhi to Bihar’s Darbhanga had a heated exchange with the airline officials after the airline allegedly cancelled the flight five minutes before boarding. They were waiting to board SpiceJet flight No. SG 495.

Some of the passengers who have been flying on the Delhi-Darbhanga route alleged the airline has been cancelling flights on this route frequently for the last few months.

The airline hasn’t issued a statement on the matter yet.

The Bagdogra airport is located near Siliguri in West Bengal.

An IndiGo flight from Delhi to Bagdogra has been delayed for over two hours at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in the national capital due to a technical snag which resulted from high ground temperatures.

The aircraft is parked on the tarmac and the IndiGo crew has said the flight has suffered a technical snag, resulting in the delay. 

The Bagdogra airport is located near Siliguri in West Bengal. The flight was scheduled to take off at 2:10 pm and land at 4:10 pm. Online flight tracking platform FlightRadar24 shows the flight parked on the tarmac of the IGI airport. 

“Delhi and Bagdogra was delayed due to high ground temperatures impeding operations. IndiGo prioritises passenger safety above all else and is taking steps to enable a prompt departure. Passengers are being provided with regular updates and we regret the inconvenience caused due to factors beyond the airline’s control,” IndiGo said in a statement.

IndiGo operates the Airbus A20N, A32N and A21N aircraft on the Delhi-Bagdogra route. 

NDTV’s Vedanta Agarwal, who is on the delayed flight and is travelling to the West Bengal train accident site, said, “The IndiGo crew informed that they will be deboarding the passengers soon and arrange another aircraft, but there is no clarity on that yet.” 

Mr Agarwal said, “The deboarding is yet to begin and the passengers are getting impatient. It is one of the three flights to the train mishap site and the last flight of the day to Bagdogra, which is 60 km from the accident spot.”

Mt Agarwal, quoting the IndiGo PRO, said, “High temperature triggered a technical snag in the aircraft, which is why refuelling could not be done properly.”

“The crew is serving refreshments and providing water to the passengers but there is no clear communication from the officials. Some passengers told me that they heard of the accident and some of their relatives were on the train,” he added.

Nine people, including three Railway employees, have died and about 50 others injured after an express train collided with a goods train in the Darjeeling district of West Bengal this morning. Kanchanjunga Express was travelling from Agartala in Tripura to Sealdah in Kolkata when a goods train hit it from the rear near Rangapani station, close to New Jalpaiguri.

Three coaches of Kanchanjunga Express were derailed in the crash. One factor which limited casualties is the fact that the rear part of Kanchanjunga Express comprised of the parcel coach and the guard’s coach and the passenger compartments further ahead suffered less impact.
