Air India Flight from Milan to Delhi Cancelled After Technical Glitch, Passengers Stranded
Air India: An Air India flight from Milan to Delhi had to be cancelled due to a technical fault. 255 passengers and 10 crew members are stranded in Milan. Air India has provided hotel and food facilities for the passengers.
The Diwali festivities of 255 passengers who were set to go back to Delhi from Milan, Italy, were marred. A technical glitch on the Air India Dreamliner flight led to the cancellation of the flight on Friday. As a result of the plane failure, the travelers were left stranded in Milan, but one passenger was flown back on another flight with special authorization.
An Air India flight (AI-138) from Delhi to Milan had a technical issue prior to its departure. The flight took off from Delhi as AI-137 at 2:54 pm and arrived in Italy after around nine hours. There was, however, a technical fault found upon landing that could not be fixed within time. Accordingly, the return flight had to be cancelled.
The incident affected the travel plans of approximately 256 passengers and more than 10 crew members. One passenger, whose Schengen visa was expiring on October 20th, was immediately rebooked on another flight to ensure they could reach India before their visa expired. The remaining passengers are being accommodated on flights scheduled for October 20th or later.
