An Akasa Air flight (QP1312) from Pune to Bengaluru was delayed after a last-minute technical glitch was detected in the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. Passengers spent nearly 90 minutes on board before being asked to disembark, and the flight, originally scheduled for 8:50 am, eventually departed at 1:15 pm.
Akasa Air confirmed the delay was due to technical reasons and said the aircraft was thoroughly inspected before departure. The airline has offered affected passengers the option to reschedule on an evening flight, and refunds are being processed for those who opted out. All passengers were safely evacuated, and no injuries were reported.
