The video, which saw several retweets and likes, also saw many user comments who were also critical of such a long flight delay.

"Seven-hours delay is too much. Anyone will get upset. Calling passenger behavior as "creating nuisance" is totally unacceptable," one user wrote.

"This is not the first time they are always late many time they cancel the flight at the last hour, pathetic airlines, moreover the airline staff now a days behave like goons its with every airline, they don't have manners to talk to their customers," another user wrote.

"What do you expect from the ground staff working under the sub-contractor. They are trained to lie. If the flight is delayed for 5 hours they will announce every one hour," a third user wrote.

Later, SpiceJet issued a statement saying that the passengers were informed about the change in schedule.

"Today's SpiceJet Delhi-Patna flight SG 8721 has already landed at its destination. The flight's departure had been revised last night and passengers had been duly informed about the revised departure time at 12.40 a.m. last night itself so that they could accordingly plan their travel to the airport," the statement read.
