SpiceJet's flights on the Pune sector have experienced a recurring pattern of delays over the past three weeks, with seven flights affected since July 29, one of them delayed by over 24 hours. The most recent incident occurred on Tuesday night when flight SG105 from Delhi to Pune was delayed by more than two hours, and passengers reported water dripping from the aircraft's AC vents.
The flight was originally scheduled to depart at 9:45 pm and arrive in Pune at 11:55 pm, but the aircraft took off around 12:40 am and landed at 2:25 am the following day. Passenger Gufran Rahman expressed his frustration on X, stating that such issues compromise passenger safety. Despite the repeated delays, SpiceJet has not yet provided a response to the delay.
