For many, it wasn't surprising that Renuka Chowdhury managed to delay a flight for hours because she wanted to go shopping. Late flights are nothing new to Air India passengers - last year, at least one Air India was late six days a week. And these aren't the kind of delays that take 20 minutes extra. Between the months of January and June, Air India had seen 145 hour long delays and over 290 delays that were less than an hour.
Here’re the stupidest, and often expensive, reasons our national flier has for delaying fights.
1. Missing cabin crew led to the plane stalling at IGI Airport 8 hours after departure time.
2. Officials forgot that the damn plane needed pilots.
3. Someone forgot to refill an oxygen bottle for the pilots.4. The pilot and the engineer started fighting. The engineer got beaten up.
4. The pilot and the engineer started fighting. The engineer got beaten up.
5. The co-pilot called in sick. Air India didn’t have any backup pilots.
6. Not enough planes. A 10-hour delay.
