MUMBAI: At least 150 passengers of Mumbai-Dubai bound AI 983 flight of Air India were stranded at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport after their flight was delayed following a technical problem in the aircraft.

The flight was scheduled to depart at 8 pm on Thursday and the passengers say that was apparently no update given to them regarding departure.


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.
