Around 100 passengers of an Indigo flight faced a delay of over two hours after the pilot failed to arrive on time.

The flight was supposed to take off for Delhi at 11.30 am on Monday from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad.

However, the passengers had to remain seated for an hour on the flight. When asked about the delay at 12.30 pm, the cabin crew informed the passengers that the flight had been delayed because the pilot was stuck in traffic.

Shocked and enraged by such a development, the passengers asked if they could arrive three hours prior to take off, why the pilot couldn’t.

Chaos followed in the flight after passengers were agitated by the delay. CISF (Central Industrial Security Force) personnel were called in as the arguments between the crew and passengers heated up. 

The passengers included women, children, and even senior citizens. The enraged passengers criticised the management of the airline and behaviour of the staff.

After waiting for over two hours, the pilot arrived and the flight took off around 1 pm.
