Air India's flight delays for nearly 2 hours for want of pilot

New Delhi: Passengers including an NHRC delegation on board an Air India plane were on Monday stranded for nearly two hours allegedly as the airline did not have a pilot for the Bhubaneswar-bound flight.
Airline's flight AI-75 was scheduled to depart for Bhubaneswar at 11:00 am this morning. The National Human Rights Commission's (NHRC) delegation was going there for conducting a state-level workshop on bonded labour.

However, the passengers of this flight had to wait inside the aircraft for almost 1 hour and 45 minutes due to the non-availability of flight crew, sources said.
"All the passengers including the NHRC delegation checked-in on-time. However, it failed to take off as there was no pilot available to fly the plane. During this period, the passengers remained seated in the aircraft," the source said.
