In an unexpected twist, the departure of IndiGo’s Patna to Pune flight (6E-126) faced a substantial delay on Wednesday, leaving 162 passengers grounded for over three hours. The disruption arose when the first officer, emotionally affected by the news of his grandmother’s demise, and decided to abort the flight. The incident occurred amid challenges posed by poor visibility and fog, prompting the airline to swiftly arrange an alternate crew for the flight and provide refreshments to the passengers.
