New Delhi, April 4 -- Around 270 passengers, including several Indians and British nationals, have been stranded for over 30 hours at Turkey's Diyarbakir Airport. Many claimed the flyers were "trapped" after a Virgin Atlantic flight from London to Mumbai was forced to make an emergency landing.

Over 300 Indians and British citizens are held trapped in Turkey in an awful situation, a social media user posted on X on Thursday.
