IndiGo flight
Bihar Governor Rajendra Arlekar was briefly stranded in Goa with his team after his IndiGo flight suffered a technical snag on Friday. Passengers were asked to deboard after the nose gear of Flight 6E 6193 jammed on the runway — with the delay initially attributed to air traffic control.
“The airline did not offer water or food. After around 5:30 pm they informed us that the aircraft would not be taking off and that we could either take a refund or choose to get adjusted in one of their one stop flights which meant at least an eight-hour delay,” passenger Nageshwar Yadav told Hindustan Times.
According to airport officials, the Governor and his team had opted for an alternative flight with Air India that was leaving Goa airport soon.
