A delayed flight, angry passengers, and a warning by authorities - Delhi airport was once against the stage for dramatic scenes. It began with a three-hour delay in Air India's Delhi-London flight on May 24.
Passengers claimed that the delay was caused by flight crew being late, and some seats "not working", as per a Hindustan Times report. Some business class passengers were downgraded, and some couldn't board the flight due to seats "not working", according to the report.
