30-hour ordeal for Air India passengers: Technical glitch, AC failure on Delhi-San Francisco flight ========== Over 200 passengers on Air India flight AI-183 experienced a delay exceeding 30 hours due to technical issues and cargo loading problems. The flight was initially scheduled for May 30 but was delayed for nearly 6 hours before being rescheduled for May 31. The takeoff finally occurred on May 31 at around 21:55 hours. The flight was delayed due to a technical glitch and later payload issues were noticed. Air India took special permission to land in San Francisco due to night flight restrictions. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) issued a show cause notice to Air India regarding the flight delay and lack of care for passengers. Passengers were made to board the plane without air conditioning, and some fainted, leading to their deplaning. Pictures showed passengers, including children, sitting on the floor and appearing exhausted. #AirIndia #FlightDelay #TechnicalGlitch #CargoLoadingProblems #Dgca https://www.wionews.com/india-news/30-hour-ordeal-for-air-india-passengers-technical-glitch-ac-failure-on-delhi-san-francisco-flight-727681
