SpiceJet passengers stranded for hours at Mumbai airport as flights get delayed

SpiceJet passengers travelling from Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International (CSMI) airport faced inconvenience on Friday morning as many flights were delayed for over two hours. Some flights were cancelled and passengers took to social media to complain. While SpiceJet response on the same is awaited, it is learnt that some of aircraft originating from Mumbai could not be operated due to technical issues.

Mumbai resident Shrish Deshpande tweeted, “SG 241 (from Mumbai to Kolkata) has been delayed by over 6 hours (and) still counting. appalling condition at tarmac (which) is scary for kid elderly and few cancer patients were stuck on the tarmac at Mumbai airport?”

“180 ppl, kids, elderly and patients deboarded, hurled and then stranded on tarmac. Now stuffed into smaller bogey so that many ppl don’t get seat. what a #WorldTourismDay we are having here @CSIAMumbai tarmac,” she added.
