Eyewitnesses and passengers on board confirmed that the plane made multiple failed attempts to land due to poor visibility caused by the storm. Panic gripped the passengers, with many seen standing in fear during the flight, as captured in several videos that have since gone viral on social media platforms.
Passengers criticized the airline for attempting to land during extreme weather conditions, calling the situation “traumatizing and irresponsible.” Most of the videos were accompanied by angry voice notes and messages condemning the airline’s decision to proceed with the flight under such conditions.
Despite growing public outrage, the airline has not issued any official response regarding the incident, raising further concerns about flight safety and passenger welfare.
As of now, authorities have not confirmed whether an investigation will be launched into the flight operation during hazardous weather.
