The country's largest private airline, IndiGo, has been facing serious operational issues for the past three days. On Thursday, the company canceled as many as 550 flights. This is the largest number in its 20-year history. IndiGo, which operates approximately 2300 flights daily, saw its punctuality drop to just 19.7% on Wednesday, a significant decline from 35% on Tuesday.
IndiGo has indicated that disruptions in flights may continue for the next two to three days. A significant number of services are being disrupted due to cabin crew shortages, technical difficulties, and other operational issues. To normalize the situation, the airline has changed flight schedules and canceled several planned services. Against this backdrop, Amol Kolhe has shared a post on social media.
Amol Kolhe shared a post on social media saying that due to the 'chaotic confusion' of domestic airlines, the flight was delayed by 2 hours and then canceled after 3 hours..! Even though the system was wasting time, I didn't! In this unexpectedly received 'leisure time', I completed an important writing. There is indeed frustration that the flight was canceled after 3 hours, but it feels better that I didn't let it affect me..!
This was not expected from Indigo…
No more traveling with Indigo..!
