An Indian airline learned the hard way not to piss off a gaggle of stressed out wedding guests.
A domestic flight in India had to delay its departure by 90 minutes Friday morning after a "technical glitch" resulted in overbooking passengers,Jesús Franco blocking some of the roughly 80 wedding goers from getting on the flight. Guests who had boarded the plane and refused to leave their fellow revelers behind caused an unruly scene that forced law enforcement to respond.
Jet Airways flight 9W7 083 (S2 4621) scheduled to leave Mumbai at 6 a.m. local time to Bhopal ran into an unexpected issue: More passengers than the plane could accommodate showed up at the airport, the company told Mashable Indiain a statement.
The wedding goers on the flight, as seen in video footage, disrupted crew members, preventing the plane from shutting the door and taking off without the rest of the gang.
Things soured even more when wedding guests aboard the flight tried to offer money to other passengers to give up their seats for their friends. Some likened the compensation to bribery. And when the airline tried to compensate those who couldn't get on the flight, the wedding guests delayed the flight even further.
"The offloaded guests - part of a larger group, refused to accept the airline’s offer of compensation / re-accommodation on alternative flights, and together with other members of the group, proceeded to hold the flight," Jet Airways told Mashable India.
In the meantime, people onboard demanded the crew to sic security on the wedding goers. Some angry passengers reportedly murmured that the wedding party was "hijacking" the plane.
"This led to an unruly situation, necessitating the intervention of law enforcement officials, causing the flight to be delayed by 90 minutes and inconveniencing other guests who were already on board the aircraft," the airline added.
At the end, Jet Airways compensated people who couldn’t board. The technical glitch has been "corrected for subsequent bookings," the airlines said.
