Hyderabad: Passengers on a Bengaluru-bound Indigo Airlines
flight had to suffer a 20-minute delay on Tuesday as the airline held up
the flight until Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy and his retinue
were aboard. The flight was scheduled to leave at 8.35 am. Indigo
Airlines confirmed the delay but said they had bent the rules because
they were given misleading information by the Chief Minister’s staff.
“Most of the CM’s entourage or associates heading for Bengaluru had
already boarded the plane. His liaison officer kept on misinforming us
that he had reached the airport and would be there in just two minutes,”
said an airline official, adding that the “two minutes” kept on
stretching to a final count of 20 minutes or so.
