Passengers Stranded As Flight From Bahrain To Kuwait Is Cancelled

Manama: Passengers have been stranded for more than 24 hours after a flight from Bahrain to Kuwait was cancelled on Wednesday.

Air India Express flight IX 890 was supposed to leave at 10.15am, but a fuel leak detected on landing in Bahrain meant the flight was called off.

A total of 101 passengers booked on the flight bound for Mangalore, India, via Kuwait were supposed to board the flight at Bahrain International Airport (BIA) on Wednesday morning.

Another 29 flew in from Mangalore, bound for Kuwait, and all were accommodated at the Gulf Gate Hotel on Wednesday night while repairs were carried out.

Passengers to Kuwait left on a Kuwait Airways flight yesterday evening, while Air India officials were communicating with operations control in New Delhi, India, to come up with an alternative flight for Mangalore-bound passengers -- who had still not left last night.
