Due to the delay, many passengers, especially the elderly and ailing, faced significant difficulties and expressed their frustration with the arrangements.

The flight, which was scheduled to take off from Hyderabad Airport at 11:45 a.m. on Monday, departed around 3:40 p.m.

Indigo flight stuck on runway at Hyderabad airport a few months ago

This is not the first time such an issue has occurred. Earlier in May, an Indigo flight 6E 6707 from Hyderabad to Cochin was stuck on the runway at RGIA due to a technical glitch and remained there for almost an hour.

Among the passengers on that flight were Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy, Legislators Tellam Venkatarao, Jare Adinarayana, Payam Venkateshwarlu, and followers Muvva Vijayababu and Tulluri Brahmaiah.

It remains to be seen what steps Indigo and Hyderabad Airport will take to prevent such flight delays in the future.
