Stuck For Two Hours, Passengers On An Air India Flight Were Forced To Deplane Because Of An AC Failure

A flight from Delhi to Singapore was grounded on Wednesday night when more than 200 passengers had to leave the aircraft after an air conditioning fault made the cabin uncomfortable. The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, AI2380, was ready for an 11 pm departure but remained stuck for nearly two hours before crew members asked passengers to deboard without providing any explanation.

Videos from inside the plane quickly surfaced online, showing passengers fanning themselves with magazines and newspapers as temperatures inside climbed.




This isn’t the first time such an incident has occurred. Just over three months ago, an Air India Express flight from Jaipur to Dubai faced a similar problem, with passengers reportedly stuck onboard for five hours without functioning air conditioning-despite the airline’s claim that the system was operating normally.

In another case earlier this year, an Air India Express flight from Delhi to Bhubaneswar experienced AC failure mid-air, causing further concern about the airline’s maintenance and safety protocols.

As passengers face repeated disruptions, questions loom over how the airline is addressing these technical faults. For now, travelers are left hoping for smoother skies ahead.
