Now traveling from Mumbai to Pune is expensive; Ticket prices are more expensive than Thailand, directly 61 thousand
(Flights Fare Hike) Due to Indigo Airlines suddenly canceling a large number of flights, there is a huge crowd at many major airports in the country. The situation has become so dire that airports in Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and Kolkata are literally like bus stations. Although the company has issued a statement apologizing to passengers, thousands of citizens are facing serious inconvenience. As Indigo's service was suddenly disrupted, other airlines immediately increased ticket prices. As a result, the fare on the Pune-Mumbai route has surprisingly reached up to 61 thousand rupees.
Pune–Delhi tickets: Approximately 27 thousand rupees
Pune–Bengaluru tickets: Nearly 49 thousand rupees
Generally, the rates seen for international travel are now much cheaper compared to domestic travel. For example, a Mumbai–London premium economy ticket costs between 50 to 70 thousand, while Mumbai–Thailand travel is available for 15 to 30 thousand. But for the short route from Pune to Mumbai, a burden of 61 thousand is being imposed.
Impact of Problems: Flights Cancelled, Passengers Distressed
IndiGo is facing technical and operational difficulties for the fourth consecutive day. As a result, the company has cancelled more than 600 flights across the country. At some airports, IndiGo has decided to suspend flights for the entire day. The company has announced that no domestic IndiGo flights will depart from Delhi airport until 11:59 PM on December 5, 2025. This announcement has completely disrupted passengers' plans and increased anxiety.
IndiGo's Apology, Growing Passenger Anger
IndiGo stated in its statement, “We sincerely apologize to all our passengers, customers, and stakeholders affected by this sudden decision.”
