Passengers wait inside Air India flight for 5hours

Air India made around 200 passengers travelling to Bangkok spend more than 5 hours inside the aircraft owing to a last minute snag that could not be corrected due to lack of technicians availability. The flight was scheduled for take-off at 1:30 am, but did not do so until 5 in the morning. They passengers who became restless were then disembarked and asked to stay at the terminal. At around 11 am, the AI crew told passengers that the flight was rescheduled to 7:30 pm which is approximately 18 hours behind its original take off time.
