Abu Dhabi: Shamnad was all prepared to attend his brother's wedding on Saturday. He reached the Abu Dhabi airport in advance on Thursday night with his family - wife, a four-year-old and two-month-old - for their flight to Kozhikode, Kerala on Friday.
And on Friday evening, a tired Shamnad explained to Khaleej Times the struggle the family went through after a 16.30-hour delay of Air India Express (AIE) flight IX348 to Kozhikode. He was wondering how to reach the wedding venue in his hometown in Kasargod district, more than four-hour distance from the Kozhikode airport.
Shamnad and family were among more than hundred passengers, who were stranded in the Abu Dhabi International Airport for almost 19 hours. The flight, which was scheduled for 12.20am on Friday, finally took off at 4.50pm.
An Air India Express official told Khaleej Times that it was 'a very rare situation' due to a 'progressive engineering delay'. "There was an engineering issue and we couldn't solve it as easily as expected," he said.
