Another passenger Aashay Sapre said, “SpiceJet Pune (PNQ) to Dubai (DXB) flight is not flying in time for more than six months with no help from airlines. We have senior citizens and children stuck without proper help. Pune airport authorities are not helping and saying they can provide more benches. People are waiting with no access to lounge.”
