Within week of 'hijack' fiasco, another Air India flight irks passengers

Kozhikode: Air India continued to face heat over flight delays as around 40 Kochi-bound passengers protested against non-availability of a connecting service following delayed arrival of their Dammam-Calicut flight here.
The passengers of the Air India Express IX382 from Dammam in Saudi Arabia arrived at the Karipur International Airport here at 4.30 AM an hour behind schedule, the airline sources said.
Agitated over missing the IX474 Baharain-Calicut-Kochi connecting flight which left at scheduled time of 4.05 AM, the stranded passengers picked up an argument with airline staff.
However, the passengers were sent to Kochi by road in taxis, they said.
An AI spokesperson at Kochi said the passengers were sent by taxies to their destinations in Thirssur and Guruvayur.
