Five-hour ordeal for 350 London-bound passengers

New Delhi: Itinerary of at least 350 London-bound air travellers has gone awry after a British Airways flight from Delhi to London (flight number BA 256) failed to take off on the second consecutive day due to a technical snag in the aircraft on Saturday.
They had a harrowing time as they were made to sit in the aircraft on Friday for five hours without AC even as the Capital was sizzling in 44° Celsius temperature, the hottest day of the season. The ordeal was even greater for wheelchair-bound passengers and children.
The flight was originally scheduled to depart on Friday morning. Passengers of the grounded flight said as there was no official of the airline to brief about the real cause of the delay and later cancellation of the trip, they remained stranded at the Indira Gandhi International Airport for hours on Friday and Saturday. They were served warm water.
