Tension mounted among travellers at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport on Tuesday, July 11, 2023 morning as a SpiceJet flight destined for Tirupati experienced a delay of more than two hours. The airline’s representatives attributed the delay to a technical glitch in the aircraft.
SpiceJet’s SG 2696 flight, originally scheduled to depart from Hyderabad at 6.00 a.m., finally took off at 8.20 a.m. and touched down at Tirupati Airport at 9.24 am, significantly behind its intended arrival time of 7.20 a.m.
