Mumbai: It was a long wait for passengers booked on Jet Airways' international flight to Johannesburg as it was delayed by more than 10 hours from Mumbai on Sunday. The passengers were stranded at Mumbai airport for a few hours before the airline provided them with accommodation and other facilities.
Jet Airways flight 9W 242 to Johannesburg was scheduled to leave Mumbai at 2.05 am. However, the flight was delayed due to what the airline called "operational reasons." As many as 130 passengers on board, who had checked in at the airport around 11 pm, were left wondering about the reason for the long delay. After a few hours, the airline staff provided passengers with hotel accommodation. The flight finally took off at 12.11 pm from Mumbai.
