'Delhi airport is a bloody sh*t show': Omar Abdullah fumes as flight diverted to Jaipur

A Delhi-bound IndiGo flight from Srinagar, carrying Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, was diverted to Jaipur on Saturday night. This situation prompted a strong reaction from Abdullah, who described Delhi Airport as a "sh*t show."

In a late-night post on X, Abdullah shared his experience, stating that the flight, which had taken off from Jammu, spent three hours in the air before being rerouted to Jaipur due to "apparent congestion or disruption" at Delhi Airport. Passengers, including the Chief Minister, were left stranded on the runway at Jaipur Airport for hours.

Abdullah also posted a selfie while standing on the aircraft's steps, having deplaned briefly for fresh air. He expressed his frustration, saying, "Delhi airport is a bloody sh*t show (excuse my French, but I'm in no mood to be polite). After three hours in the air from Jammu, we got diverted to Jaipur, and here I am at 1 in the morning on the steps of the plane getting some fresh air. I have no idea what time we will leave from here."

Almost three hours later, Abdullah posted again, saying, "In case anyone is wondering, I got to Delhi just after 3:00 AM."

The Delhi Airport, which has been experiencing significant delays over the past week, issued an advisory for passengers on Sunday morning. According to the airport, airlines are facing delays due to shifting wind patterns.
