New Delhi, June 18, 2015: In what highlights the sorry state of affairs at Air India, over 40 Indian school children were forced to spend the night sleeping on the floor at the Paris airport after their flight to New Delhi was delayed due to technical reasons.

 

According to reports, Air India Flight AI 142 was scheduled to take off from Paris on June 16, 2015 at 10.00 PM, however, it was delayed due some unexplained technical reasons. The flight was suppose to fly back over 40 school children who had been on a tour to Europe.
