Passengers create uproar at Ahmedabad airport as Bagdogra SpiceJet flight is cancelled

According to a report by Sandesh newspaper, passengers faced difficulties after the SpiceJet flight from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport to Bagdogra was suddenly cancelled. The scheduled departure time of this flight from Ahmedabad was 03:20 PM. An atmosphere of chaos prevailed at the airport for some time due to the cancellation of the flight.

The stranded passengers at this airport included travellers not only from Ahmedabad but also from other districts of Gujarat such as Surat, Mehsana, and Jetpur. The passengers alleged that despite having valid boarding passes, they were not allowed to enter the terminal. Angered by this, around 190 passengers staged a sit-in protest outside gate number 5 of Terminal 2. The passengers warned that their protest would continue until a proper solution and a satisfactory response were provided by the airline company.

Ahmedabad Airport, officially known as Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, is the seventh busiest airport in India. According to a Wikipedia report, this airport is named after India's first Deputy Prime Minister Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and is the largest and busiest international airport in the state of Gujarat.
