Chaos at Surat airport: Air India Express flight delayed by dense fog, bird strike; passengers stranded for 10 hours
Air India Express passengers endured a grueling 10-hour delay on the Delhi-Surat-Bangkok route Tuesday. An initial fog delay in Delhi was compounded by a bird strike upon landing in Surat, necessitating engine checks. Frustrated passengers, many with onward connections, faced poor communication until a replacement aircraft arrived, finally departing Surat late evening.
