is pouring in on our story last week about SriLankan Airlines flight
UL195 that was diverted from New Delhi to Jaipur for refuelling. The
aircraft reached its destination three hours past the scheduled time of
arrival on February 12. The New Delhi-bound flight carried some high
profile personalities, including Indian High Commission diplomats, a
well-known book publisher and a multi-millionaire businessman.
One of the VIP passengers described his experience as “terrible”. ”We
were to land in Delhi, our blankets were collected, our earphones were
collected and, then, the pilot announced that he was 15th on the list to
land while the airport signboard said the plane was landing at 5.23
pm.” This passenger had a friend waiting in New Delhi to pick him up.
