This matter came to light a few days back
Let us tell you that a few days ago, there was a heated argument between the passengers and the crew in a SpiceJet flight going to Patna. The flight was delayed due to an operational problem. A passenger on board the flight (8721) going from Delhi to Patna had told that the scheduled time of departure from Terminal 3 of the airport was 7.20 am, but the flight took off at around 10.10 am. Airline staff initially said that the flight was delayed due to bad weather, but then cited technical reasons as the reason for the delay. The delayed departure left many people fuming at the airport and had a heated argument with the airline personnel.
