SpiceJet Cancels Flight Just 5 Minutes Before Boarding, Sparks Outrage And Protests At Delhi Airport | Video

Passengers on a SpiceJet flight had a heated exchange with airline officials at Delhi Airport on Saturday after the carrier cancelled the flight just five minutes before boarding.

The cancelled flight, SpiceJet No. SG 495, was scheduled to travel from Delhi to Darbhanga, Bihar.

Videos of the angry passengers protesting at the airport have been circulating on social media.

Distressed passengers were seen shouting slogans like “SpiceJet murdabad, murdabad” at the boarding gate in Terminal 3 of Delhi Airport, visibly protesting the last-minute cancellation.

Several passengers have expressed their frustration with SpiceJet’s frequent flight cancellations and delays on the social media platform X.

One passenger expressed frustration over the cancellation of his flight from Delhi to Goa, stating, “Spicejet SG211 flight from Delhi to Goa is being cancelled after repeatedly delaying it for multiple times. We have been waiting at the airport since 7:00AM in the morning and have been travelling since past evening from Shimla,” he wrote.

Another passenger shared their frustration about a different SpiceJet flight, from Ahmedabad to Varanasi.

“T2- Spicejet Ahmedabad to Varansi flight. We have to wait for 30 mins like this due to unavailability of Securty staff. @ahmairport @AdaniOnline . this is not the kind of service we expect from an International airport,” the post read.
