British Airways London flight delayed

Chennai: Passengers on the British Airways flight to London scheduled to leave here early on Sunday waited a whole day before their flight finally took off from Chennai’s international airport.
Flight BA 036, scheduled to leave at 8 a.m. on Sunday, was delayed by a “technical snag”, British Airways officials said.
Passengers were told that the door of the 777 aircraft was not closing and that the required part needed to fix the problem was not available anywhere in India. The part had to be flown in all the way from London, delaying the flight by one full day.
The flight, rescheduled to leave Monday morning at 9 a.m., was delayed again because of a radar failure at Chennai’s Air-Traffic Control.
