According to reports, Spicejet Airlines cancelled flight number SG 495, from Delhi to Darbhanga, scheduled to take off on Saturday evening. Following this, the fumed passengers broke up an argument with the airline staff and started shouting slogans such as “Spicejet Murdabad, Murdabad”.

Several videos of the incident from the Delhi Airport also surfaced on social media, wherein the miffed passengers were seen shouting and protesting against the sudden cancellation of their flight.

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.
