Air India flight delays continued for the second day on Monday at Chennai airport, as congestion caused by Sunday’s delays affected services. It affected people who were returning home or travelling for business.
Around 13 departures were delayed by more than an hour since early morning. The delayed flights included three to Delhi and one flight to Singapore. The 6.10am flight to Delhi was delayed by more than three hours and left at 9.30am. Flights to Mumbai, Kochi, Madurai and Kolkata were delayed by an hour, while a flight to Mumbai and Coimbatore was delayed by less than an hour in the afternoon. The delays caused congestion at the airport though some of the passengers were alerted about the rescheduling in advance.
The delays were caused because of a slowdown of Air India's servers two days ago. The airline had set the snag right on Saturday night but there were problems in other airports. A few of the departures in Chennai were also delayed because of arrival delays. An official said handling of aircraft and baggage were hit because of the large number of delays. Spice-Jet flights were delayed throughout the day by nearly an hour. The disruption early morning on Monday created inconvenience to passengers as a huge number of travellers fly for work on early morning flights. The number of passengers are also high because of summer vacation. Around 10 Air India flights were delayed on Sunday creating chaos and long queues at the check in counters.
