Oman Air flight delayed for hours; passengers' frustration grows before cancellation at Hyderabad airport

PTC Web Desk: Oman Air’s flight from Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Airport to Muscat, originally scheduled for 3 pm, was marred by significant issues, eventually leading to its cancellation. The trouble began after passengers boarded, only to experience an air conditioning failure that left many feeling suffocated during the prolonged delay of three-four hours. Despite attempts to resolve the issue, the flight was ultimately called off at 10 pm, around eight hours after its intended departure time.

A video surfaced on social media showing the tense atmosphere at the airport, with passengers voicing their anger and frustration. The footage captured passengers screaming in distress, highlighting the discomfort caused by the extended delay.


As of now, Oman Air has not issued an official statement regarding the incident. Passengers have reported that no compensation or refunds have been offered for the inconvenience and distress they endured. This incident follows a similar disruption earlier in January, when SpiceJet faced a heated confrontation with passengers due to a prolonged flight delay at New Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport.
