#LH754 13:50 IST Update: Landed in BLR with no problems. Immigration and baggage next, hopefully is not a problem. @lufthansa we still expect a detailed report as to why this happened this way, what is being done to avoid it in the future, and how we will be compensated. pic.twitter.com/VagZJ0Gaax

'Been 28 hours passengers are stuck at airport. There is no arrangements made for onboard journey,' says one passenger
@CGI_Istanbul Lufthansa Frankurt-Bangalore flight full of Indian passengers had to make a landing in Istanbul on 18th Oct due to medical emergency onboard. It has been 28 hours passengers are stuck at airport. There is no arrangements made for onboard journey. Please help
Update: The operations responsible here said we would be taking off at 15:00 local time. That means a 47 hour journey, for a 8h 50 minutes flight. @lufthansa what measures are being taken to compensate for our physical strain, mental strain and time? #LH754#FRABLR
