Pune: Many flyers of an early morning Delhi-bound SpiceJet flight SG-937 on Thursday boarded the plane and dozed off. When some of them woke up after an hour-and-a-half hoping that the aircraft must be descending for the destination, they were disappointed to find themselves still on the Pune airport tarmac.
"The flight (SG-937) was scheduled to take off at 5.55am and land in Delhi at around 8.30am. We boarded the plane by 6.15am and many of us dozed off because it was an early flight. The pilot, however, announced that the flight would take another 10 minutes to take off due to a technical glitch. I woke up after an hour or so to find that the flight had still not taken off," Pramodkumar Sonami, a Pune resident and one of the flyers, told TOI.
"No one even told us to disembark before 8.30am, the time when the flight was supposed to land in Delhi. The cabin crew asked us to disembark over two hours after we waited onboard the plane," Somani said.
The flight was eventually delayed by around seven hours, defeating the flyers' purpose of taking an early flight.
An airline spokesperson told TOI that a technical issue delayed the flight.
