SpiceJet flight SG 8172 departing from Goa to Delhi experienced a delay of over 7 hours, causing significant discomfort to passengers. Originally scheduled to take off from Dabolim Airport at 8.20 PM on June 19, the flight got rescheduled several times on the same day. The passengers were stranded at the airport for hours without proper arrangements.

A passenger, Akshita Mishra, sharing her harrowing experience told Jagran English that several people were made to wait for long hours without any refreshments or cancellation updates. When asked about the reason for the delay, the airline staff did not provide any valid answer. "People were fainting infront of them, but they didn't show any concern, instead the staff were being rude to us," she said.

"After waiting for so long, we finally boarded the flight at 4.20 AM on Thursday," she added.

In the picture, passengers can be seen stranded at the airport in discomfort.

This is not the first time that SpiceJet passengers got frustrated by its services and delays. A day before, passengers travelling on a SpiceJet flight from Delhi to Darbhanga had to wait inside the aircraft for about an hour without air conditioning amid the intense heatwave. The incident took place on the SpiceJet Flight SG 476. The passengers said the temperature inside the aircraft reached around 40 degrees Celsius.
