Passengers
on the Bangalore—Delhi Jet Airways flight complained of a harrowing time at the
Bengaluru International Airport on Sunday night after the flight returned to
Bangalore owing to bad weather in Delhi.
The passengers were airborne for nearly 4 hours and 20 minutes.
They alleged that once the flight landed in Bangalore, they were left to fend
for themselves. Flight 9W 812 was scheduled to leave Bangalore at 7.25 p.m.
However, it left only at at 8.40 p.m. Owing to bad weather in Delhi, it
returned to Bangalore at 1 a.m. on Monday.
“First the flight was delayed by over an hour and then just when
we were approaching Delhi, the flight was diverted all the way back to
Bangalore, instead of a nearer airport,” Bina Menon, one of the passengers,
told The
Hindu . “Once we landed here,
passengers were forced to fend for themselves in the cold. There were children
and elderly people in the group. No one from the airline attended to us,” she
alleged. However, the airline accommodated Ms. Menon and several others in its
flight to Delhi on Monday at 8 a.m. Meanwhile, Jet Airways in a statement, said
Flight 9W 812 to Delhi was delayed owing to a delay in the arrival of aircraft
from Guwahati.
