Solar Impulse Team, stuck in Ahmedabad, Expresses disappointment on twitter.
Ahmedabad, 18-03-15:
The SI2 team which has landed in Ahmedabad, was stuck in the city due to immigration clearance. Pilot Piccard who flew the SI had missed his immigration stamping on the day of arrival, due to the grand welcome and ceremony.
"When I arrived here with solar Impulse, there were authorities, media and ceremony. I was covered with garlands and shawls gifted by the people who received me and I missed immigration clearance. And now I am desperate to get the clearance for last five days," Piccard said.
Piccard was to fly to Varanasi, but the schedule was delayed by three days due to Indian Red Tape. Finally the SI2 has took off to an estimated 15 hour journey of around 1071kms to Varanasi, where it will fly next to Mandalay in Myanmar.
The team has expressed its disappointment on their official account on twitter.
