Overview
- A short video posted to Instagram on Sunday shows a woman arguing with cabin crew on a flight held from landing at Delhi because of bad weather.
- In the recording the woman says '15-20 aircraft' had landed in the prior half hour but that numeric claim has not been independently verified by reporters.
- A cabin crew member in the clip tells her they do not know the reason for the hold and the passenger repeatedly demands that staff ask and report back.
- Pilots and aviation enthusiasts who commented online explained that visibility, wind, runway condition, aircraft type and air traffic control clearances can make one flight able to land while another cannot.
- The post went viral and drew widespread criticism of the passenger's behavior plus public discussion about what cabin crew can say, with no official statement from the airline or Delhi airport reported so far.
