The ordeal began on November 16 when the flight was delayed for six hours due to
a technical fault. Passengers boarded the plane only to be asked to deboard when
the flight was ultimately canceled, leaving them in limbo.

Although a replacement plane was arranged, it returned to Phuket about two and a
half hours into the flight due to another technical issue. One passenger expressed
despair on Facebook, saying there has been no communication or support from Air 
India or the Indian Embassy.
