A two-hour and 10-minute Delhi-Pune SpiceJet flight turned into a harrowing nine-hour ordeal after what passenger described as the plane as a “gas chamber”. The failed air conditioning system inside the aircraft left passengers sweltering on Tuesday night.
A SpiceJet flight SG-105 was scheduled to depart from Terminal 1 of Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport at 9.45 pm, but was delayed to 10.30 pm. After passengers boarded the aircraft, they began to feel the heat and experience suffocation.
