It proved to be a frustrating and tiring Friday for passengers travelling to and from the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport's domestic terminal with flights being delayed by around one-and-half hours.

The delay may have been gradually reduced, but the effect of the incident was expected to be understood only by 11pm. The delay occcured due to an unoperational Boeing 747 breaking down while being towed by the ground staff at around 4.15 pm from the primary runway after the maintenance work was done.
