NEWS Dozens of British Airways passengers stranded at Mumbai airport 'told to wait 8 days'

Dozens of British Airways passengers have allegedly been told to wait eight days for a plane after a late connecting flight left them stranded at Mumbai airport.

The 38 holidaymakers, including children with special needs, had flown from Goa to Mumbai on a delayed Air India flight, and were due to fly back to London Heathrow with British Airways.

But the British Airways plane did not wait for the connection, leaving the passengers stranded at the terminal and sitting on the floor.
