Bhubaneswar: Passengers of the Mumbai-Bhubaneswar Kingfisher flight had a harrowing experience on Sunday after the aircraft was caught in a midair turbulence and failed to land.
After three aborted attempts, sources said, it was diverted to Kolkata and returned later in the evening. During the attempted landings, when the city was hit by strong wind and showers, the passengers were left panic-struck.
The flight, carrying 130-odd passengers with three? infants, had left Mumbai at 12.45 pm and was to reach Bhubaneswar at 2.35 pm.
With the weather not so conducive, the passengers wondered why the flight was given permission to land in the first place. “Besides, if there was a turbulence, why make three attempts at all?,” another traveller asked. Some of the passengers complained of uneasiness and even vomited.
