Ahmedabad: About 250 passengers travelling by an Air India (AI) flight from Ahmedabad to Newark (US) via Mumbai had a harrowing time late on Monday night as the aircraft developed a technical snag and had to be grounded. Around 186 passengers left for Mumbai at 3am on Tuesday while 64 others were accommodated at a hotel near airport.
The passengers' trauma began as soon as they were seated in the flight which was supposed to leave at 9.10pm. "We were kept seated in the aircraft for two hours before being told that flight had some problem," said a passenger.
After the passengers created a ruckus, AI officials arranged for an alternate flight for the passengers at 3am. However those scheduled to fly to Newark had to stay back for a whole day as the flight from Mumbai to Newark left on at its scheduled time on Monday night.
