As many as 158 passengers were left stranded at Mumbai airport in the early hours of Sunday after their 8 am flight to Ahmedabad got cancelled. They spent 45 minutes onboard the aircraft for Jet Airways flight 9W 2314, before being told to deplane. The reason? Jet Airways staff told the fliers that the runway at Ahmedabad airport was shut for maintenance. Later in the day, a Jet spokesperson said there were some technical issues with the flight as well.
