Passengers began arriving at Pune airport at 3 am, expecting to board the AirAsia flight to Bengaluru scheduled for 5:30 am. However, they faced an unfortunate situation as the flight failed to arrive until 3 pm, leaving them waiting at the airport for nearly 10 hours.
To address the situation, the flight scheduled for Jaipur at 3 pm was redirected to accommodate the stranded Bengaluru passengers. Consequently, even the Jaipur-bound passengers experienced a delay. Frustrated by the ordeal, the passengers expressed their discontent and staged a protest against the airline at gate number 4. In response, CISF personnel detained three individuals involved in the protest.
