The former media professional when contacted said that the delay caused inconvenience to the passengers including herself.
“Our flight finally took off at 10.20 pm while it was scheduled to fly at 12.30 pm. Though we were getting two hourly updates, we knew it would be delayed but it was too much of a delay,” he said.
Another passenger requesting anonymity said, “Since the flight took too long for takeoff, the kids were playing on the ground floor. Also, it was very frustrating for all of us who were stuck for nearly ten hours. We had expected that the flight would depart on time.”
