What's the storyA SpiceJet flight from Delhi to Pune, SG-105, was forced to return to the bay after nearly 150 passengers refused to fly due to a faulty air-conditioning system, which left them feeling extremely hot and humid in the cabin.
The flight was canceled after the passengers objected and they were left at the airport for more than six hours before a replacement flight transported them to Pune early on Wednesday.
