Ayodhya-Bound SpiceJet Flight Delayed
Taking to the X platform, Ritik Trar (@ritik_trar) complained about the flight departure getting delayed.
@flyspicejet extremely disappointed with the delay of SG 461 from Delhi to Ayodhya. Scheduled departure was 14:30, now it’s 17:55. Every time the reason is some ‘technical issue’—this is unacceptable and causes major inconvenience. #SpiceJetDelay #CustomerDisappointment pic.twitter.com/El7KgV098A

Sir we are badly suffering since morning at New Delhi Airport due to 5 hrs delay in spicejet flight to Srinagar SG-8937— Bunty Singh (@IchpalSinghJK) September 7, 2024
According to the X post, a flight to Srinagar was delayed by around 5 hours. According to information available online, the scheduled departure time of the SG 8937 flight was 10:35 AM. The arrival time at the Srinagar airport was 4:55 PM. However, the journey was delayed by 5 hours. Passengers had no other chance but to remain stranded at the airport waiting to board the aircraft.
We can only imagine how frustrated they felt while waiting to catch their flight to Srinagar.
Recently, a SpiceJet flight to Dubai faced a delay of around 11 hours. Frustrated passengers waiting at the Kochi airport held a protest on Friday morning.
We are reading so much about flight delays these days. Sometimes, flyers get notified earlier regarding the postponement of the journey. Whereas, airlines often inform about delays even at the last moment. Understandably, passengers get furious during such instances and take to social media platforms to rant about their experiences.
