Coimbatore, Oct 25: Protesting the “abnormal delay” in an Air Deccan flight’s departure from Chennai, over 40 passengers today refused to alight at the airport here and resorted to a dharna.
According to the passengers, the flight, scheduled to take off from Chennai at 6.10 a.m, took off after a delay of three hours and landed here around 10.30 a.m ,instead of the usual time of 7.10 a.m.
Blaming the management for the “delay and poor service,” the agitated passengers resorted to a sit-in and refused to alight, police said.
