It wasn't a very Happy Dussehra for 154 Air India passengers with the national carrier cancelling their Delhi-bound flight without any prior intimation.

The cancellation of Air India's Delhi flight (AI 666), which takes off at around 4pm, was made during its Standard Time of Departure (STD). Initially, according to passengers, they weren't infomred of the reasons for the delay. It was later learnt that the flight was cancelled as the incoming aircraft that flies to Mumbai from Trivandrum as AI 668 (and lands Mumbai by 2.50pm) got grounded at its starting point.
