They claimed the authorities did not inform them about the cancellation. Sources said there was no announcement of the flight cancellation and the passengers learned about it after making an enquiry. The 273 passengers of the flight also staged demonstrations at ZIA, prompting the airport officials and employees to leave the place fearing fresh attacks.
