2 Dubai-bound SpiceJet flights hit delays at Delhi airport, protests erupt
An official statement from the airline says the flights were delayed for "operational reasons."
Two SpiceJet flights scheduled to depart for Dubai from Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport faced delays on Tuesday, leading to protests from passengers. The flights, SG 5111 and SG 5105, were originally set to depart in the morning and evening, respectively. However, their departure was repeatedly rescheduled throughout the day due to operational reasons.
SpiceJet spokesperson confirmed that the flights were delayed due to operational issues, and efforts were being made to accommodate affected passengers with alternate flights.
Around 200 passengers were impacted by the delays, with some protesting at various locations at Terminal 3 of Delhi airport late on Monday evening. A video of passengers staging a sit-in at the airport also circulated on social media, though HT was unable to independently verify its authenticity. Airport officials and SpiceJet executives have been discussing the matter.
