Many missed link flights from Delhi, passengers allege airlines weren't co-operating

New Delhi: Commuters were stranded for hours at the airport on Monday morning with several flights delayed or cancelled due to the season's first dense fog. While many complained that the onset of fog had put a damper on their plans, some at the departure terminal were angry over the alleged lack of cooperation on the part of the airline authorities.
A group of British passengers from Jaipur said they were stranded at the airport for hours and even made to wait on the tarmac for nearly an hour. Their flight was three hours late and they missed the connecting flight to Varanasi. Airline officials were of no help and they were finally forced to buy fresh tickets.
A few passengers on a Delhi-New York flight said they were made to wait on the tarmac for over six hours without information on when the flight is going to depart. They were made to sit till 6am. The officials of the airliner said a technical difficulty resulted in delay.
