Panaji: 12.12.2021
In a harrowing experience for SpiceJet passengers bound for Mumbai, two of its aircraft suffered technical snags within a short span of 10 hours at Goa International Airport. The incident left more than 100 passengers stranded and led to cascading delays for the private airline.
SpiceJet accommodated the passengers on another scheduled flight later in the afternoon, but not before irate passengers protested at the departure terminal. The ordeal for passengers began in the early hours of Saturday when flight SG476 was set to depart for Mumbai at 5.25am.
After the passengers had boarded the aircraft and the flight was cleared for take-off, the pilots detected a snag and the aircraft, a Boeing 737-85R, was brought back to the apron. The passengers were asked to disembark and wait in the departure lounge till a replacement aircraft could fly in.Several flights operated by SpiceJet witnessed delays across the country, particularly Chennai, Mumbai, Kolkata and Bagdogra.
