Over 200 passengers flying from Delhi to San Francisco experienced a lengthy struggle due to a technical fault, non-functional air conditioning, and payload issues, resulting in a more than 30-hour delay. After repeated rescheduling since Thursday evening, the flight, AI 1183, finally took off from the Delhi airport around 2155 hours.

The flight, which was originally planned for Thursday at approximately 1530 hours, was delayed for nearly 6 hours before being rescheduled for Friday. Despite repeated rescheduling, the departure was pushed back due to a technical fault and payload issues, reported PTI.
