Saudi flight grounded at Mumbai airport due to technical snag
Mumbai: Around 200 passengers of a Mumbai-Jeddah Saudi Arabia Airlines flight SV 745 have been stranded at the Mumbai Airport for over 24 hours.

The flight was originally scheduled at 8 am on Monday morning from the airport but was delayed due to a technical glitch, a Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) official said.

Angry passengers said the airline had not yet informed them about the time of take-off.

The airline had reportedly accommodated most of the stranded passengers in various hotels in Mumbai.

A technical team was also flown down from Saudi Arabia to work on the grounded aircraft. (With PTI Inputs)
