No pilot, AI passengers stranded

Thiruvananthapuram: It was a harrowing Independence Day for the passengers of the Air India Express on Monday. They should have landed at the Calicut airport at 5 am on Monday morning but instead have been stranded at the Trivandrum airport for more than 8 hours. Even worse, they would not be able to take off for another 5 hours at least. The Air India flight from Sharjah could not land at Calicut because of fog. It landed at Thiruvananthapuram instead. The pilot finished his duty hours and was off the duty roster.
