One man’s online tantrum about a flight delay is taking off — for all the wrong reasons.

Facebook user Deep Roy took to Singapore Airlines’ (SIA) Facebook page to post a lengthy rant on Dec 1 after his flight to New Delhi was delayed for 17 hours. 

But what he didn’t expect was to get flamed by Singapore netizens instead.

The flight, which had been scheduled to depart Singapore on Nov 29 at 4.25pm was initially delayed due to bad weather, SIA told AsiaOne.

That, however, was just the start of a long string of various delays.

Shortly after push back from the gate at 6.05pm, the flight crew were alerted to a technical issue with the aircraft’s braking system and the plane had to return to the gate due to safety reasons. 

Passengers were invited to re-board the aircraft after engineers inspected the aircraft, replaced two components, and ran tests which did not result in any fault indications.

However, just after the aircraft left the gate for the second time, the fault indication display came up once again and the flight crew had to return to the gate.
