In this regard, a passenger named Rahul Jadon has written in his X account that… what is the reason due to which AI-469 is getting delayed? Are the pilots of Air India so tired that they have locked themselves in the cockpit? On the other hand, a passenger named Siddh has written in his X account that due to internal conflict, the pilot refused to fly the plane. Passengers have been standing on the aerobridge for the past several hours.
If sources are to be believed, all the ground staff present there tried to convince the flight crew. But, no effort worked. Meanwhile, for about five hours, about 150 passengers of this plane kept getting troubled, but there was no one to take care of them. The situation was such that no airline employee was ready to even tell the passengers what was the reason for the delay in the flight and when would it take off?
The flight from Delhi to Udaipur departed about five hours late from its scheduled time.
After about five hours of effort, another crew was arranged. After this, the flight which was scheduled to depart from IGI Airport at 1 pm, could depart for Udaipur from Delhi Airport at around 6.19 pm. Whereas, this flight which was supposed to reach Udaipur at 2.15 pm, could reach Udaipur at around 7.33 pm with a delay of about five and a half hours. The airlines have rejected the claims of the passengers.
Meanwhile, Air India says that due to technical fault, flight AI-469 from Delhi to Udaipur could not depart on time. When boarding started, some passengers started protesting, due to which the crew started feeling unsafe. Due to which, the passengers had to deboard the plane. As soon as alternate crew was arranged, the flight was sent to Udaipur.
