The flight, with 164 passengers, was to depart around 9 a.m. but encountered a technical glitch. The passengers were made to wait in the terminal, sources said. Though it was expected that the flight would take off soon, the departure time kept getting pushed back. Subsequently, most of the waiting passengers were accommodated in other flights.
