What: Air India Airbus A310-300 en route from Mumbai to Delhi
Where: Mumba
When: Dec 26th 2009
Who: not available
Why: When the Air India Airbus encountered a technical problem, the flight returned to make a safe landing in Mumbai.

However, passengers were held inside the plane for three hours; and the replacement flight did not arrive for those passengers for 7 hours.

Those are going to be some unhappy campers. Hopefully Air India will provide them compensation beyond peanuts and drinking water.
