The aircraft was made airworthy by the airline engineering team, however, since planes can land at Jabalpur only till 6.30 pm the airline sought an extension of the 'watch hour' at Pune.
However, this request was not accepted by airport authorities at Pune, forcing the airline to cancel the flight.
