Emirates flight delayed by several hours at Islamabad Airport

Emirates airline’s flight EK-615, which was due to leave Islamabad airport for Dubai at 3:00 AM today, could take off for several hours after it developed a technical fault, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

The passengers, including a large number of women and children, felt a lot of suffocation after they were made to sit inside the plane for four hours after the detection of the fault.

However, later instead of moving them to a hotel, the airline’s management shifted them to the airport’s lounge.

To make matters further worse, the passengers were neither served breakfast nor were even offered water.
