Air India Express cancels Guwahati-Hyderabad flight, cricketer Mohammed Siraj calls delay 'frustrating'

Mohammad Siraj called the airline's communication poor and the delay over four hours frustrating, with Air India Express blaming unforeseen operational reasons for the cancellation.

  • On Thursday, Air India Express confirmed Flight IX 2884 from Guwahati to Hyderabad was cancelled, with India fast bowler Mohammad Siraj booked on the flight.
  • Air India Express apologised and said the cancellation was due to `unforeseen operational reasons`, adding its airport team is assisting affected guests with arrangements.
  • Passengers reported the aircraft never took off and received minimal communication as the four-hour delay stretched past the scheduled 7.25 pm departure from Guwahati to Hyderabad on flight IX 2884.
  • Siraj took to social media late Wednesday to complain, calling it his worst airline experience and urging others to avoid Air India Express.
  • The episode adds to a string of recent flight disruptions by Air India Express, including a Dubai–Mangaluru cancelled flight with 110 passengers, as Mohammad Siraj was returning to Hyderabad after India’s 408-run loss to South Africa.
