Agitated passengers protest at Kozhikode airport

Kozhikode: Agitated over the inordinate delay in flight services caused by fog over the airport at Dubai, passengers staged a protest at the International airport here on Sunday after the Air India Express flight arrived 24 hours behind schedule.
Passengers of the delayed flight included former Kerala Minister and Muslim League leader M K Muneer who led the protest before the Airport's Emigration Counter for a while.
The agitated passengers complained that the airline authorities did not even bother to treat them properly despite the severe inconveniences they had to face, due to the delay.
The flight, scheduled to arrive early here in the morning, reached here at 4 am on Sunday.
A visibly agitated Muneer told the media that the issue would be brought to the Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel's notice.
Meanwhile, the Air India Express Dubai-Kochi flight, which was scheduled to arrive on Saturday at 5.10 am landed at Kochi international airport only at 4.20 am on Sunday. The passengers initially refused to disembark, protesting the delay.
