"I came to the airport at 10am, and it's 11.30am, there is no sign of the flight taking off. We were informed later that the flight was cancelled. It is Raksha Bandhan, and by this time, I should have been in Patna. As a mark of protest, we are all squatting on the floor," a passenger wrote on microblogging platform X.
Stranded passengers alleged that the pilot did not report for the flight.
However, the claim was denied by Air India Express officials, who stated that the flight had to be cancelled due to 'operational' reasons.
