Air India passengers stranded in Bahrain

Doha: Air India (AI) flight 952 from Doha to Kochi/Thiruvananthapuram,which left Doha around 2.30am yesterday with more than 200 passengers, was reportedly stranded at Bahrain airport for over five hours, much to the chagrin of passengers, who were expecting a stopover of not more than an hour.
"The entire crew virtually left us to fend for ourselves at the airport and we had no clue as to what was happening. They had apparently gone for a break at their hotel," a passenger said.
Finally, the plane took off around 8am and reached Kochi only around 3pm (IST).The aircraft had earlier arrived in Doha almost eight hours behind the schedule on Monday.
