A Kolkata-bound Air India plane, with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee onboard, was today delayed by nearly four hours due to a technical snag in the aircraft's cooling unit.
The flight (AI-020) was scheduled to take off at 2.25 pm but left the Indira Gandhi International airport here at 6.11 pm, after the airline arranged an alternative plane.
"The delay occurred after one of the cooling units failed. Our engineering teams tried to replace the unit but when the problem could not be resolved, we arranged for an alternate aircraft.
