Air India flies out stranded British Airways passengers

New Delhi: Air India may have failed to fly its passengers in recent days due to the ongoing pilots' strike, but the carrier came to the rescue of passengers of a 30-hour delayed British Airways (BA) flight stranded at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport here and flew them to their destination in Britain.
"We have managed to help some of the stranded passengers of the BA flight which was scheduled to operate between Delhi-London yesterday (Friday) but never took off due to some technical reasons," a senior Air India official on the operations arm of the airline told IANS.
According to airport sources, the BA flight scheduled to fly out of New Delhi Friday morning had developed some technical snags. The flight was not operated after a section of the passengers protested.
