New Delhi: A hopping flight from Amritsar to Kolkata via Delhi had to return to the bay after taxiing from both the north Indian airports on Friday to offload passengers — one place voluntarily and the other an unruly flyer to be handed over to security agencies.
These twin episodes happened on Vistara's flight UK 707 which has a schedule departure time of 3.25 pm from Amritsar. "Once the aircraft started taxiing in Amritsar, a passenger said he wanted to get off the flight with his family due to some personal emergency. The aircraft returned to the bay where this family got off and after that the plane resumed its journey with a delay of about 1.5 hours," said an official.
Once the plane landed in Delhi, a Kolkata-bound passenger who had boarded in Amritsar got agitated when it started taxiing to take off for Kolkata. "He said he wanted to smoke as he had been in the plane for a long time. He got into an argument with the crew and co-passengers. Once things got too heated, the crew informed the pilot," said the official.
The pilots gave a warning to this passenger. When he continued throwing tantrums and delaying the flight, the aircraft returned to the terminal where the passenger was handed over to security agencies.
