Snag hits Jet's London-Delhi flight

New Delhi: Over 100 passengers abroad a Jet Airways London-Delhi flight had the most harrowing flying experience of their lives when one of the four engines suffered a mid-air "burn-out".
The aircraft was turned around, fuel dumped and returned to London. But this, passengers say, was just the beginning of their ordeal. They allege that the airline didn't accomodate them in hotels till late in the night, a charge that Jet Airways denies. "There was a technical fault and it was rectified. All passengers were taken care of, put up in hotels and acomodated on British Airways and Jet Airways flights to Delhi and Mumbai. These allegations are baseless," said a Jet spokesperson.
But the passengers have a different story. "When we boarded the flight, we were informed that there was a technical fault. Later, the captain announced that it has ben rectified and we took off. Incidentally, this burn-out happened in the same engine which was so-called rectified".
