A lady passanger said "We have been waiting at the airport for a long time. There is a three months old baby among other kids, who are travelling. However, there is nobody here to give us an answer as to when the flight will take off. Even they gave us bad food to eat. The airport staff is dealing unprofessionally and even told a few to refund their money from the sites they booked,". The passengers later boarded the flight at 6 in the morning.
