Indian passengers traveling from Mumbai to Manchester faced a 13-hour delay in Kuwait after a Gulf Air flight made an emergency landing. Stranded passengers complained about lack of food, assistance, and lounge access. The Indian Embassy in Kuwait promptly intervened, assisting travelers and ensuring food and water availability. Embassy officials clarified that visa-on-arrival is unavailable for Indians in Kuwait, compounded by government office closures due to the GCC Summit. The flight finally departed at 4:30 am, with embassy representatives staying on-site to provide support. Videos of passenger protests against airport authorities surfaced on social media, highlighting their ordeal.
