Passengers reported that they were informed of the delay just before boarding. As the hours passed, many expressed their discontent over the lack of updates and amenities provided by the airline. Several passengers took to social media to voice their grievances, sharing their frustration over being kept in the dark about the reasons for the delay and the uncertainty regarding their journey.
Among those affected were families with young children, elderly passengers, and business travelers, all left to cope with the extended wait without adequate facilities or support. “We have been waiting for hours with no information from SpiceJet. This lack of communication and transparency is unacceptable,” one passenger said. Another passenger described the scene at the airport as “chaotic,” with many people left feeling helpless and anxious about their travel plans.
The delay also had a cascading effect on connecting flights and travel arrangements for those bound for Dubai. Several passengers reported missing onward flights and other commitments, adding to the growing discontent. With tensions running high, some passengers demanded compensation or alternative arrangements to mitigate the inconvenience caused by the delay.
SpiceJet has yet to issue an official statement explaining the cause of the delay or addressing the complaints raised by the passengers. The airline is expected to provide compensation or alternate travel options in line with aviation regulations and customer service commitments.
This incident is the latest in a series of delays and disruptions faced by the airline in recent months, raising concerns about its operational efficiency and customer service standards. As passengers wait for clarity, this prolonged delay has underscored the importance of effective communication and transparency in managing unexpected disruptions in air travel.
