Passengers travelling with IndiGo Airlines faced an unexpected ordeal at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) on Friday night after the airline abruptly cancelled its late-night flight, leaving travellers stranded. The affected passengers were subsequently rescheduled for an early morning flight the following day.
The disrupted flight, 6E 922, was originally scheduled to depart from RGIA at 9.15 p.m. and land at Bhubaneshwar’s Biju Patnaik International Airport by 10.45 p.m.. A delay notification was initially displayed on the gate’s information board, pushing the departure time to 10 p.m.. However, around 10 p.m., after boarding, the passengers were asked to deplane owing to inclement weather, as informed by the pilot. The same flight had arrived late at the Hyderabad airport from a prior journey.
One passenger, requesting anonymity, said, “After sitting in the plane for about 30 minutes, the pilot announced that owing to bad weather, the plane cannot take off, so the passengers have to deboard the plane.”
