Air India Express flight IX1090 from Delhi to Indore was delayed by more than three hours after a 3:00 PM reschedule failed, and the aircraft’s air‑conditioning was turned off, causing discomfort for passengers.
The Air India Express flight IX1090, scheduled to depart Delhi for Indore at 1:10 PM on Wednesday, was pushed back to a 3:00 PM slot but still failed to take off, resulting in a delay of over three hours.
Airport officials reported that the aircraft remained on the ground despite the revised schedule, and the cabin’s air‑conditioning system was switched off, leaving passengers in an uncomfortable environment.
Travelers on board complained of the stifling conditions and the lack of clear communication from the airline regarding the cause of the delay and the AC outage.
Air India Express has not released an official statement yet, but sources indicate that technical checks are underway to resolve the issue before the flight can be cleared for departure.
The incident adds to growing concerns about operational reliability on busy domestic routes, especially during peak travel periods.
