Does anyone know why this flight is delayed by 14 hours? Call centre suggest it’s air traffic restrictions at BOM but that makes no sense as later flights the same day have departed the same route.
How can a one hour domestic flight be delayed by 14 hours?

call centers rarely have the correct real time information....there are multiple times i've called the call center to ask about delayed flights only to be told incorrectly that the flights are on time....

Most likely explanation - since BOM is shutting its main runway everyday for maintenance all through the day till about mid Feb and causing major delays for all aircraft using the airport, Jet would have decided to reschedule some of their flights to ease congestion at the airport and use the airport only when the main runway is open.
