An Air India flight between Bengaluru to Mumbai, which was scheduled to depart on Sunday evening, was delayed for several hours at the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) and took off only in the early hours of Monday.
Flight AI 610 which was scheduled to depart at 7.35 p.m. on Sunday was delayed owing to a technical issue and the aircraft underwent a detailed check-up before it was cleared for flying.
This led to a delay of a few hours and in the meantime the flight duty time of AI 610’s crew had lapsed and they were not eligible to fly.
