Passengers left stranded after Guwahati-Delhi flight reaches Jaipur

Jaipur: The passengers of a Delhi-bound flight from Guwahati spent a harrowing time at Jaipur airport on Sunday night after the flight was diverted here and subsequently cancelled following bad weather at Delhi airport.
The SpiceJet plane carrying 190 passengers landed at Terminal 2 of Sanganer airport at 10.30 pm on Sunday. Soon, without giving any solid reasons, the passengers were told that the flight was cancelled.
"It was already 1 am on Monday when we were told about the cancellation of flight. This is not done. They neither refunded the money nor arranged for any vehicle to reach Delhi," said a passenger.
Finally, after four hours, the passengers and staff were sent to Delhi via cars and other vehicles.
"The plane was diverted to Jaipur due to bad weather in Delhi. It was scheduled to take off once weather gets cleared in Delhi, but it was cancelled," said R K Singh, director, Airports Authority of India, Jaipur, said.
"We have ordered an inquiry into the matter and the report would be sent to the Director General Civil Aviation's ( DGCA) office soon," said a senior officer with the AAI, Jaipur.
