Over 100 passengers were stranded on an Air India flight from Delhi to Pune due to the absence of a pilot. The flight, originally scheduled for a 7:10 pm departure, finally took off at 9:00 pm and reached Pune at 11:00 pm. The following day, the same flight faced delays again due to the unavailability of a pilot. Air India has not responded to queries regarding the incidents.
The concerns raised by the Air India pilots group come after the death of an IndiGo pilot recently who collapsed and died at the boarding gate at Nagpur airport last week.
