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'.
