New Delhi: Angry passengers staged protests at Delhi airport after two SpiceJet flights to Dubai were delayed for more than 24 hours.
Flights SG 5111 and SG 5105 were affected after an aircraft was grounded due to operational reasons. Passengers raised slogans and demanded clear departure updates, food, and accommodation.
SG 5111, scheduled for Monday morning, eventually departed at 2 pm on Tuesday. SG 5105, originally scheduled for Monday evening, was further delayed until 1 am Wednesday.
Passengers also alleged that SpiceJet staff were unavailable for long periods. Airport staff later provided food, water and a resting area.
SpiceJet apologised for the disruption, saying alternate flights were being arranged and efforts were being made to minimise passenger inconvenience.
