In Northern and Central India flights have seen huge delays due to unsafe weather. With loads of dense fog, flights have been delayed and diverted. In a recent incident, a flight from Delhi to Goa was also delayed due to the fog. The flight was delayed for over 12 hours. Being frustrated, one passenger lost his cool and attacked the pilot of IndiGo flight. 

While the video of the attacking passenger went viral, former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan expressed his disappointment at the passenger. He further explained how these delays are done for the safety of the passengers.

Just saw a video of a passenger hitting a pilot of a commercial aircraft. Guys please try and understand we all get frustrated with delayed flights, but this approach is strictly NO NO!  As a regular traveller I have been part of the delays too which needs to be adress for everyone’s comfort. Also, there are certain weather delays are for the passenger’s safety which we all travelers need to understand.
