Radhika Apte said the airline staff was waiting for new crew but had no idea of when they will arrive. She also added that they had no access to water or loo.

Actor Radhika Apte has shared a post as she along with her flight co-passengers, were locked inside the aerobridge at an airport. Taking to Instagram on Saturday, Radhika posted a video and pictures of herself. She said that her flight was delayed, the security wouldn’t open the doors and the airline staff had ‘absolutely no clue’.

Radhika shared a clip in which several people were seen behind a locked glass door. A few people also spoke with the security staff. In a few photos, she along with her team sat on the floor as other passengers stood nearby.

Sharing the pictures, Radhika wrote, “I had to post this! Today morning I had a flight at 8:30. It’s 10:50 now and the flight has still not boarded. But the flight said we were boarding and put all the passengers in the aerobridge and locked it! The passengers with small babies, elderly people have been locked in for over an hour. The security won’t open the doors. The staff has absolutely no clue!”

Radhika talks about airline staff, co-passengers

“Apparently, their crew hasn’t boarded. The crew had the change and they are still waiting for new crew but they have no idea of when they will arrive so no one knows how long they’ll be locked inside. I managed to escape briefly to speak to the very stupid staff woman outside who kept saying there is no issue and no delay (smiley emoji) now I’m locked inside (grinning face with big eyes emoji) and they just told us that we will be here till minimum 12pm (smiling face with hearts emoji) all locked in. No water no loo. Thanks for the fun ride!!”
