Kochi: Kochi: Two Union Ministers were stranded for two hours at the Kochi international airport on Thursday after the Jet Airways flight on which they were scheduled to travel to Mumbai could not take off on time due to "non-availability" of pilot, sources said tonight.
Union Ministers Prakash Javadekar and Piyush Goyal were later flown to Delhi and Mumbai respectively by other flights.
Jet Airways flight 9W 404 which was scheduled to depart for Mumbai at 1620 hours could not take off because the airlines could not get a pilot to operate the aircraft.
Repeated calls and text messages sent to Jet Airways' spokesperson did not yield any response.
Goyal and Javadekar, who were scheduled to travel to Mumbai, left by other flights. While Environment and Forests Minister Javadekar boarded a flight to Delhi, Power Minister Goyal went to Mumbai.
