Alarming footage has captured an aircraft cabin on board an AirAsia flight to India filling with mist as the captain blasted the air conditioning on full power in a bid to make the passengers leave the plane.
The flight, departing from Kolkata was delayed by over four hours for its journey to Bagdogra, West Bengal.
When passengers began growing frustrated, the aircraft’s captain told them to disembark the plane without any explanation.
However, when they refused due to heavy rain outside, he forced them out by turning the air conditioning on high, it is claimed.
A clip from inside in the plane shows the passengers shouting loudly and complaining as the mist swirls around the cabin nearly obscuring the people.
“It created a scary scene as heavy fog was created inside the plane and it was very suffocating (sic).”
Ray said that the plane had returned to the gate as a result of a “technical snag” before the captain ordered the passengers out.
On Facebook, Ray commented on the clip: "This is the way Aviation industry works in India. This #AirAsiaservice was particularly scary ... Avoid Air Asia (sic).”
AirAsia India acknowledged the delay in a statement and explained that the air conditioning had been turned on as a result of “high humidity conditions.”
The airline said: "AirAsia India would like to confirm that flight i5583 from Kolkata to Bagdogra was delayed by 4.5 hours due to a technical requirement.
