Know reason why Air India pilots left plane midway, refused to fly

After making an emergency landing at Jaipur airport owing to poor weather, the pilots of an Air India flight from London refused to proceed any farther. Around 350 passengers were left stranded for about three hours, forcing them to seek alternative travel plans to reach Delhi.

The AI-112 flight was supposed to arrive in Delhi at 4 a.m. on Sunday but was diverted to Jaipur due to severe weather over the area around Delhi.

Notably, the Delhi-bound flight was cleared to resume its voyage, but the pilots refused to fly, stating “our duty time is up.”

One of the passengers, Adit, resorted to Twitter to express how distressed the passengers were since they had “not been assisted with any recourse to reaching their final destinations.” He complained about the airline’s and airport officials’ lack of support.

Following the post, Air India responded by claiming that their team is ‘doing its best’ to lessen the passengers’ inconvenience. “Please stop making false promises!” Adit retweeted the tweet.

The Jaipur Airport staff has been completely useless and incorrigible in providing us with any assistance. “The solution they’ve proposed for all passengers to travel to Delhi by coach is absolutely damnable and ludicrous,” he remarked.
