Late on Wednesday night, Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj found himself stuck at the airport instead of heading home and the experience left him deeply frustrated. What was supposed to be a routine flight from Guwahati to Hyderabad turned into hours of waiting with no clarity, prompting him to speak out publicly.
Mohammed Siraj shared on X that his Air India flight, scheduled to depart at 7:25 PM, kept getting delayed with no communication from the airline. He explained that despite repeatedly asking for an update, passengers were left in the dark, unsure of when or if the flight would take off. For him, it wasn’t just an inconvenience but a basic expectation that every flyer deserves to be kept informed.
He wrote that the delay had stretched to four hours and still no proper update had been given, leaving everyone stranded at the airport. In disappointment, he called it the worst airline experience he had faced and said he would not recommend the flight to anyone unless the airline improved the way it handled such situations. He also tagged Air India in his post, making sure the complaint reached them directly.
Here is what Mohammed Siraj tweeted, “Air India flight no IX 2884 from Guwahati to Hyderabad was supposed to take off at 7.25 however there has been no communication from the airline and after repeatedly following up, they have just delayed the flight with no proper reasoning. This has been really frustrating and this is the basic ask by every passenger. Flight delayed by 4 hours and still no update has left us stranded. Worst airline experience. I really would would not advise anyone to take this flight if they can’t take a stand. @AirIndiaX”

Air India later responded to his message, apologising for what happened. The airline explained that the flight had to be cancelled due to unexpected operational issues. They added that staff at the airport were helping passengers make alternate arrangements and assured Mohammed Siraj that they understood how inconvenient the situation had been. The airline promised to keep everyone updated and provide all possible support.
What began as a routine travel day for Siraj turned into a long, frustrating wait, but it also sparked an important conversation about communication, accountability and the expectations passengers carry from national airlines.
