A technical malfunction has once again disrupted an Air India flight, leading to the deplaning of over 200 passengers. The flight, scheduled to depart from Delhi to Singapore, was grounded on Wednesday due to the technical fault. Passengers were kept waiting on board the aircraft for over two hours before being instructed to disembark.
The incident took place at Delhi Airport, affecting Air India flight AI 2380. The technical issues involved the air conditioning system and electrical supply of the aircraft, prompting the deplaning of passengers to the terminal building. Airline personnel did not offer a clear explanation for the extended delay and subsequent deplaning, causing distress among the passengers, including elderly individuals.
The flight, operated by a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, was scheduled to depart from Delhi Airport around 11 PM. Passengers reported issues with the air conditioning and power systems. Air India has yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident. The frequency of such technical problems on Air India flights is a cause for concern. A recent occurrence involved a Delhi to Indore Air India flight that was forced to make an emergency landing due to a fire signal.
