Snag delays departure of Air France flight to Paris

Tuesday, October 9, 2007, 13:08 [IST]

Chennai, Oct 9 (UNI) An Air France flight from Chennai to Paris was delayed by nearly four and a half hours today, following a minor snag.

Airport sources said the flight, which was scheduled for take off at 0130 hrs, could not do so due to non-receipt of signals from the control room.

On scrutiny, it was found that a signal bulb in the tail portion of the aircraft was not glowing, which was necessary when a flight takes off in darkness.

As the fault could not be rectified here, the flight took off at 0600 hrs in daylight.
