Air India passenger slams flight delay amid Delhi storm; Airline, airport cite weather woes

This morning, strong winds, dirt storms, and heavy rains in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) caused delaying about 200 trips. Before their scheduled arrival at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi, three flights were transferred to Ahmed Abad and Jaipur. Among the flights that were converted to Jaipur were Bangalore Delhi and the Bonnie Delhi Road. According to FLIGHTRADAR data, Delhi Airport witnessed an average delay of 21 minutes for expatriates and 61 minutes to leave.

Thunderstorms in the early morning disrupted the air traffic in Delhi, which caused frustration among passengers, including the person who moved to the X social media platform to delay a two -hour delay on India’s flight.

“Each journey @ @aarindia is late for 1-2 hours-respect for the time of passengers. There is no improvement, no accountability. It is shameful to compare ourselves to Pakistan instead of China, which is 100 years away from us,” the passenger wrote in a publication. In another follow -up, the user added, “The tragedy is non -recovered tickets and there is no compensation for wasting the time of passengers.”

Air India replied to the complaint on X, saying: “Dear Mr. Rana, the flight is late due to the opposite weather conditions in Delhi. Please make sure that the safety of our passengers is still a greater priority. We are sincerely able to make your patience and understanding.”

Later, the airline said that most airlines were affected by the harmful weather conditions.

Delhi Airport staff confirmed the passengers of their efforts in providing a smooth experience despite the difficult weather conditions. The airlines also encouraged passengers to verify their latest flights before heading to the airport.

The DIAL International Airport (DIAL) also issued a statement confirming the delay caused by the weather: “Because of the stormy weather conditions and thunderstorms in Delhi, some flights were affected at Delhi Airport.

In a later update, Dial said: “The thunderstorm has passed. However, there is some effect on flight operations due to harmful weather conditions. All stakeholders are working together to ensure a smooth and effective passenger experience.”

The weather, while a break from the repressive Delhi heat provides water -vanishing on a large scale, fallen trees, and the disorders of air and land transport via NCR. Dial and Air India advised travelers to verify directly from airlines for aviation updates in the actual time.
