Air India Flight delayed at Heathrow after passenger heads to arrivals instead of departure gate

NEW DELHI: In a bizarre incident at London Heathrow airport recently, the passenger of an Air India flight from London to Delhi missed boarding his flight by reaching the wrong gate. The flyer had mistakenly reached the Arrivals gate instead of the Departure gate. The aircraft was taxiing towards the runway when the crew realised a passenger was missing and decided to go back to offload the person’s baggage. The incident delayed the trip for 200-odd passengers on board by nearly 90 minutes while the passenger was detained by security officials.
