The Gulf Air flight GF5, traveling from Bahrain to Manchester, was diverted to Kuwait due to a technical issue. The flight, which departed Bahrain at 2:05 AM local time on December 1, was forced to land in Kuwait at 4:01 AM, according to reports. Several passengers expressed frustration over being stranded at the airport for hours. In response, the Indian embassy in Kuwait reportedly intervened with Gulf Air to address the situation, as noted in social media posts.
