New Delhi-bound Air India flight AI 1851 delayed by more than 45 minutes: Sources
Mumbai, February 25
A New Delhi-bound Air India flight stood on the runway at the Mumbai Airport, delayed from its scheduled departure time of 3:25 pm.
According to sources, the Air India Mumbai to Delhi flight AI 1851 was on the runway at Mumbai airport for more than 45 minutes.
Mumbai airport traffic is insane these days. Could be ATC delays or just the usual congestion. Still, airlines should communicate better with passengers sitting inside. A simple announcement would reduce so much anxiety.

Hope the passengers are okay. Sitting on a runway for that long with no AC in Mumbai heat can be terrible. Been there, done that. Air India, please sort out your operational issues.

Flying Mumbai-Delhi is like a bus route now. With so many flights, these delays are bound to happen. Maybe we need to manage expectations? Though 45 mins is a bit much.

As a frequent flyer on this sector, I've noticed AI has improved in many areas, but operational punctuality still lags. The new management should focus on this. A delayed flight has a cascading effect on everyone's schedule.

Could be a technical snag. Safety first, always. Better to be delayed on ground than have issues in the air. But yes, transparency is key. Passengers deserve to know the 'why'.
