The waiting relatives wondered about the possible reasons for the delay of the AI flight. They realised that their fears were unfounded as another relative from Hyderabad came by the SpiceJet flight from Hyderabad at 8.30 a.m. The worst part was the lack of information from the AI authorities on the reason for the delay and updating the information about the delay at frequent intervals. The flight was scheduled to arrive in Vizag at 7.30 a.m. Around 7 a.m., they got a message that the flight was delayed by 30 minutes. After persistent enquiries, a hand-written board was put up at the counter indicating that the flight would arrive at 8.30 a.m.
