Several passengers aboard a Malaysia Airlines flight from Doha to Kuala Lumpur were stranded between 48 and 72 hours after the aircraft was diverted to Mumbai due to a technical issue last week.

Malaysian Airlines flight MH0165 was diverted to Mumbai on Friday after an engine failure. Describing their ordeal on social media, one passenger said that they had not been flown out on an onward flight until Saturday evening.

The airline in a statement on November 27 said there were delays due to immigration-related challenges, and that it was continuing to arrange for passengers’ onward journey.
