Mumbai: 100 passengers on board a Suratbound SpiceJet fight, via Mumbai, from Delhi were left fuming on Sunday after the aircraft was abruptly diverted to Udaipur allegedly to drop a pilot-cum-engineer to attend a grounded plane.
While the diversion led to the flight No. SG-852 reaching the destinations three hours after its scheduled arrival, passengers slammed SpiceJet officials for taking them on a ride just to handle an internal issue.
Mumbai Mirror contacted the airline for its version of the story. However, the SpiceJet spokesperson refused to comment on the issue.
A flyer who experienced the ordeal said the flight was scheduled to take off at 3.15 pm, but got delayed by 45 minutes due to some technical reasons. "However, we were taken in by surprise when the captain announced in mid-air that the aircraft was heading towards Udaipur."
