SpiceJet Passengers Report Air Conditioning Issues on Delhi-Gorakhpur Flight
Passengers on a SpiceJet flight from Delhi to Gorakhpur reported air conditioning malfunctions prior to takeoff on Sunday. The airline has officially denied that any technical failure occurred during the flight.
On Sunday, passengers aboard SpiceJet flight SG2471 reported issues with the aircraft's air conditioning system while waiting for departure at Delhi airport. According to passenger accounts, the flight, which was originally scheduled to depart for Gorakhpur at 4:30 pm, did not take off until approximately 5:50 pm. During this delay, travelers expressed frustration regarding the cabin temperature and the functionality of the cooling system.
SpiceJet has responded to these claims by denying that the air conditioning system suffered a malfunction. The airline maintains that the aircraft was operational and that the cabin environment remained within safety and comfort standards throughout the boarding process. There is a direct contradiction between the passenger reports of a technical failure and the airline's official statement asserting that the system was functioning as intended. No further details regarding the cause of the departure delay have been provided by the airline at this time.
