An Air India flight from Chennai to Coimbatore was delayed on Monday morning due to a technical glitch detected just seconds before departure. The flight, initially scheduled to take off at 5:45 am, had to return to the bay after the pilot identified a technical snag while taxiing to the runway. The snag was detected just as the plane was about to depart, with 148 passengers and a six-member crew on board. The passengers and crew were forced to deboard the plane in order to resolve the problem.
A technical team was dispatched to rectify the snag, and after some time, the issue was resolved. The flight was subsequently rescheduled for take-off at around 7:45 am. The delay was reportedly caused by a technical glitch, and not due to any maintenance or mechanical issues with the plane.
The delay caused inconvenience to the passengers, who were left stranded at the airport for several hours. However, Air India took prompt action to rectify the problem and reschedule the flight, ensuring the safety of passengers and crew. Despite the setback, the airline’s decision to deboard passengers and crew in order to detect and rectify the technical snag demonstrates its commitment to providing safe and reliable air travel.
