Around 60 Indian passengers were stranded at Kuwait International Airport for more than 13 hours on Sunday, December 1, after their Gulf Air flight GF 005 from Mumbai to Manchester was diverted following an engine fire incident.

The flight was abruptly halted mid-journey, with passengers only being informed 20 minutes before their arrival in Kuwait.

Passengers complained of facing discomfort as the airline failed to provide food, accommodation, or basic assistance on social media platforms.
