Tech glitch delays IndiGo’s Mumbai flight

Rajkot: As many as 180 passengers were stranded for hours as IndiGo’s Rajkot-Mumbai flight could not take off due to technical problems, resulting in a chaos at the city airport, on Friday.

The boarding and deboarding had to take place from runaway for the entire day for other flights as IndiGo’s aircraft had to park in the parking area.

According to airport officials, the flight was scheduled to take off at 12.15pm. The airlines later arranged an aircraft from Ahmedabad and the flight took off at around 5.30pm.

Airport director Diganta Borah said, “We have space to park one big aircraft, so we have parked this Indigo plane and it’s being attended by their technical team. Meanwhile, we had no option, so boarding and deboarding of other flights was being done from the runway itself. However, we have made sure that other flight schedules are not affected.”
