It's a shocking story as passengers of an Air India flight from Dubai to Kozhikode were in for a rude shock when the airline asked passengers to disembark at the Thiruvananthapuram airport and make their own way to Kozhikode.
TIMES NOW has visuals of the passengers that have been shot on a mobile phone camera. It was clearly see that passengers protesting with the Air India crew. The passengers refused to disembark from the plane before they reached the destination they had purchased their tickets for.
This led to a standoff on board, the flight itself with the passengers sticking to their decision not to disembark.
Following this, the Air India crew left the plane, leaving about 20 passengers stranded in the flight itself. In no time, the plane was shut down, and the air conditioning switched off adding to the passengers discomfort.
The passengers finally disembarked after getting a letter from Air India authorities that the matter will be looked into. But when TIMES NOW tried to speak with the Air India officials about the incident, they refused to comment.
