Technical issue leaves passengers of Air India Express Mumbai–Muscat flight stranded overnight

Muscat: An Air India Express flight from Mumbai to Muscat that was scheduled to arrive at 11:20 pm on Saturday will now land around 9:20 am the following morning after a prolonged delay caused by a technical issue. The aircraft finally left Mumbai around 08:15 am Indian Standard Time.

Passengers endured an overnight wait at the airport after the aircraft developed a snag prior to departure. The delay stretched for several hours, with travellers reportedly asked to disembark and undergo security procedures again.

Many expressed frustration over the extended wait and what they described as limited communication from airline staff regarding the revised departure time.
