A SpiceJet flight bound for Dubai experiences an approximately 18-hour delay while at Sri Guru Ramdas Ji International Airport in Amritsar, according to multiple reports. Passengers say the prolonged wait leaves them stranded and disrupts travel plans.
All outlets describe the delay as extensive and centered on the Amritsar airport, with travelers frustrated by the length of time before departure. Times of India reports that passengers complain about persistent schedule changes and what they describe as a lack of clear communication from the airline. That outlet also says some passengers seek refunds and raise concerns about the absence of clear arrangements or accommodations during the long delay.
India Today similarly focuses on the impact of the delay on Dubai-bound passengers, describing them as stranded at the airport. While the accounts share the core facts of the delay and its effect on passengers, they differ mainly in emphasis, with one report focusing on passenger anger and disruptions and the other highlighting the stranded situation.
