JAIPUR-<\/strong> On Sunday, June 25, 2023, an Air India (AI)<\/a> pilot refused to continue flying a flight from London (LHR) to Delhi (DEL) after making an emergency landing in Jaipur airport due to bad weather conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to reports, approximately two hours after the emergency landing in Jaipur, the Delhi Air Traffic Control (ATC) granted clearance for the flight to resume operations. However, the pilot refused to fly the flight due to duty time limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident left more than 350 passengers stranded at the airport, as the scheduled arrival time in Delhi was 4 am on Sunday. Some passengers took to Twitter, sharing videos criticizing the airline for failing to assist in reaching their final destination, Delhi<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to reports, some passengers were provided taxicabs after waiting for more than six hours, while others were put on a Volvo bus that took them to Delhi. Another report says that once a replacement crew was well-organized, some travelers proceeded on the same Air India flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
