On Wednesday, an Air India Express flight from Delhi to Indore experienced a significant delay, leaving passengers stranded for over three hours. The scheduled departure from Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport was set for 1:10 pm, but the flight IX1090 repeatedly missed its revised departure time of 3 pm. Passengers inside the aircraft, braving the heat and humidity, resorted to using pamphlets to create a makeshift cooling system.
Despite the persistent issue, the aircraft finally touched down in Indore around 5:15 pm. However, passengers were forced to remain onboard for an additional 30 minutes due to a malfunctioned switch meant to shut down the engine. Only after the technical glitch was resolved were they permitted to disembark.
The prolonged delay and the malfunctioning air conditioning system frustrated the travelers, who voiced their dissatisfaction over the airline's service. Indore airport's public relations officer, Ramswaroop Yadav, initially stated that the flight had not reached the city, leaving the reason for the delay unspecified.
However, the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Mohan Yadav, later flagged off an Indore-Abu Dhabi flight as part of the MP Civil Aviation Policy 2025, providing some relief and attention to the ongoing aviation policy updates.
