A New Delhi-bound Air India flight came to a standstill before take-off from the North Runway of the Bengaluru airport due to jamming of a wheel brake. The passengers were deboarded and AI 505 took off five and half hours later when the problem was resolved.
The flight was supposed to depart from Kempegowda International Airport from Runway 27R at 10.25 am. While no one was able to give details on the number of passengers on board, a source said the rough estimate could be around 200 as it was a widebody aircraft.
