Al Paris flyers sent in bus to Delhi after Jaipur diversion
Hindustan Times|November 20, 2024
Air India faced a storm of criticism on Tuesday after passengers on its ParisDelhi flight were diverted to Jaipur due to dense fog in the Capital.

The passengers were then transported to Delhi by bus, sparking complaints about prolonged delays and discomfort.

Flight AI-2022 took off from the Charles-de-Gaulle (CDG) airport in Paris at 10pm on Sunday, and was scheduled to reach Delhi at 10.35am on Monday.

However, dense fog in Delhi meant that the flight was diverted to Jaipur, officials aware of the incident said.

Air India officials said that the crew were not allowed to operate further due to flight duty time limitations (FDTL)regulations by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) that mandate adequate rest to flight crews for safety purposes.
