Swiss Flight Evacuation: Passenger Alleges Mismanagement at Delhi Airport After Engine Fire

A Swiss International Air Lines flight LX147 from Delhi to Zurich aborted take-off on April 26 after an engine fire at IGI Airport. All 241 people on board were evacuated safely, though four passengers were hospitalized and one crew member injured. A passenger praised the airline crew's professionalism during the emergency but alleged severe mismanagement on the ground, including lack of headcount, insufficient forms and pens, no megaphone for announcements, and poor passenger handling that took hours to resolve.
