Spoke to an official at @cgivladivostok and the rescue flight is enroute. Expected to land at 12:30 am local time. The flight will take stranded passengers of #AI173 back to India.
@airindia@JM_Scindia@narendramodi@PMOIndia#AI173 (Del to SFO)has been diverted to Russia. My mother is in that flight and traveling alone. It’s been 4 hours, please provide us with an update .When will passengers be deboarded and when the next flight will be available .
@airindia - where is AI173 crew? Why there is no one there with the passengers to update them or provide assurance? Isn’t this AI173 captain’s responsibility to assure its passengers.
Why is @PMOIndia not giving any updates on this situation?
@DrSJaishankar@narendramodi
@airindia who is this airport team you are referring to in regards to AI173 crisis? We have tried calling Air India desks at Mumbai, Delhi and SF airport but couldn’t get any answers. 1/2
@narendramodi@PMOIndia@DrSJaishankar@airindia - This is very very unacceptable that even after more than 14 hrs @airindia has no update on the situation. Passengers and their loved ones do not deserve this. We need the update right now.
