SpiceJet delays spark passenger protests at Delhi's Terminal 3
Two SpiceJet flights to Dubai were repeatedly postponed at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport, prompting about 200 passengers to stage protests.
Operational problems forced SpiceJet to postpone departures of flights SG 5111 and SG 5105, both bound for Dubai, on Monday. The airline attributed the delays to the grounding of an aircraft and promised to provide replacement options. Approximately 200 passengers, frustrated by the repeated schedule changes, assembled at Terminal 3 of Indira Gandhi International Airport, conducting sit-ins and other forms of protest.
Video of the demonstration circulated on social media, though its authenticity could not be independently confirmed. Airport authorities and SpiceJet executives have been engaged in talks to resolve the issue and minimize passenger inconvenience.
