NEW DELHI: A Mumbai-bound IndiGo flight was delayed by more than one and half hours first due to fog and then by a passenger who refused to fly on a plane being piloted by a woman.

Indigo flight 6E 179, which was supposed to depart at around 8am, could not take off due to fog.

And when the weather cleared and the plane was about to take off, a middle-aged man, Pramod Ambalekar objected to the flight being commandeered by a woman, airport sources said.

He called the airhostesses and objected to a woman pilot. The man relented only after he was told that he would be taken off the plane with his check-in baggage.

According to sources, the man had a fight with his wife and so objected to a woman pilot flying an aircraft.

The airline, in a statement, said the passenger flying by 6E 179 was asked to deboard by the airline security staff after he "misbehaved and showed disrespect to our crew members".
