Mumbai: An Air India flight to Delhi was delayed by three hours on Tuesday as its crew was busy attending a staff party, the airline's engineers have alleged in a complaint to the chairman.
AI flight 116, from London to Delhi, was diverted to Mumbai on Tuesday morning because of poor visibility caused by fog in the national capital. The aircraft, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, was supposed to leave for Delhi at 9.30 am, but took off at 12.30 pm.
All-India Engineering Services Limited (AIESL), a body representing the airline's engineering staff, claims the delay resulted from unavailability of flight crew, who were busy celebrating a senior executive's promotion at AI's office in Medicon Bhavan.
