According to the airline, the aircraft experienced a technical snag, causing the delay. It further added that the airline is trying to resolve the issue.

In a similar incident, an Air India flight AI2380 to Singapore was stranded at the Delhi airport due to a technical snag. Over 200 passengers were forced to deplane after enduring nearly two hours inside an aircraft with malfunctioning air conditioning and electrical systems on Wednesday night.

The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner was scheduled to depart around 11:00 pm when technical issues emerged, according to news agency PTI. The faulty air conditioning system left passengers uncomfortable, with some resorting to using newspapers and magazines to fan themselves.
