Big Controversy Over Special Flight Sent To Bring Indian Team?

Team India landed in India earlier today. After the World Cup glory, the squad was brought home on a special flight. The BCCI sent a special flight to bring the team safely. However, a new controversy erupted over the alleged diversion of the flight without proper alternatives.

A Special Air India flight brought the Indian team back. However, reports say that the flight was diverted to Barbados suddenly. As reported by Business Today, the flight was originally bound to reach Delhi from Newark city in New Jersey.

However, the flight was canceled at the last minute without proper intimation. The flight was diverted to Barbados. Besides the cancellation of the flight, no alternatives were arranged reportedly. A few passengers took to social media to share their frustration.

Usually, alternatives are arranged for the passengers when such sudden cancellations happen. But the passengers did not get any alternatives. Some passengers took to social media to share their experiences.

The issue took a big turn with the entry of DGCA. It is said that the controversy came to the notice of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). The Statutory body had issued directives to Air India to submit a report on what had happened and why the sudden diversion had to take place.

The scheduled flights cannot be canceled unless there is a big reason. Even if the flight has to be canceled the passengers should be informed in advance and the alternative should be arranged. But nothing sort of happened as per the reports and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation sought a report on this from Air India.

A special flight was sent to Barbados to bring the Indian team back to India. Hurricane Beryl hit the Caribbean islands hard leaving a big impact. With this, the Indian team stayed back there till the situation came under control. It is said that the flight was diverted to bring the Indian team.
