Hyderabad: Passengers on a Bengaluru-bound Indigo Airlines flight had to suffer a 20-minute delay on Tuesday as the airline held up the flight until Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy and his retinue were aboard. The flight was scheduled to leave at 8.35 am. Indigo Airlines confirmed the delay but said they had bent the rules because they were given misleading information by the Chief Minister’s staff. “Most of the CM’s entourage or associates heading for Bengaluru had already boarded the plane. His liaison officer kept on misinforming us that he had reached the airport and would be there in just two minutes,” said an airline official, adding that the “two minutes” kept on stretching to a final count of 20 minutes or so.
