Upset over delay, flyers create ruckus

Mumbai: For passengers of a Mumbai-Delhi flight, the loss of a night's sleep, along with a six-hour delay, was the final straw. Early on Saturday morning, they created a ruckus at the Mumbai airport and caused inconvenience to passengers of other flights.
The incident occurred around 7.30 am, when about 100 passengers of an Air India Mumbai-Delhi flight agitated over the delay and created a ruckus in the transit area of the international terminal. "The flight, which was to take off at 3 am, was still on the ground and the passengers were angry as there was no information on its status," said an airport source. The flying time between Mumbai and Delhi is two hours. Most of the passengers reached the airport by 1.30 am and the delay wore them down.
An Air India spokesperson confirmed the flight delay, saying it was due to technical reasons.
