Radhika Apte mentioned that the airline staff awaited a new crew, but there was uncertainty about their arrival. She also noted the lack of access to restrooms or water.
Actress Radhika Apte took to Instagram on Saturday, sharing a post about being confined with her fellow flight passengers inside an aerobridge at an airport. In the video and pictures, she mentioned the flight delay, unresponsive security doors, and emphasized that the airline staff had “absolutely no clue.”
Radhika posted images and a video clip featuring a group of individuals behind a secured glass door. Some were engaged in conversation with the security personnel. Additional photos captured Radhika and her team seated on the floor, while fellow passengers stood nearby.
Radhika provided an account of the incident, stating, “I had to share this! This morning, my flight scheduled for 8:30 still hasn’t boarded by 10:50. Despite announcing the boarding, they placed all passengers in the aerobridge and locked it! People with infants and elderly individuals have been confined for over an hour. The security doors won’t open, and the staff is completely unaware!”
Radhika discussed the situation with the airline staff and fellow passengers, stating, “Evidently, their crew hasn’t arrived. Despite having the shift change, they are still awaiting a new crew, but nobody knows when they’ll arrive. So, there’s uncertainty about how long we’ll be confined. I briefly managed to converse with the unhelpful staff woman outside who insisted there was no issue or delay (smiley emoji). Now, I find myself locked inside (grinning face with big eyes emoji), and they just informed us that we’ll be here until at least 12 pm (smiling face with hearts emoji) all locked in. No water, no restroom. Thanks for the enjoyable experience!”
