Sunday, September 15, 2024 In a frustrating turn of events, passengers on IndiGo ’s flight 6E 1303 from Mumbai to Doha faced a harrowing experience on Sunday. The flight, initially scheduled to depart at 3:55 am, was eventually cancelled after a grueling five-hour delay caused by technical issues and procedural hiccups, leaving an estimated 250 to 300 passengers stranded at Mumbai airport. Despite multiple attempts to resolve the issues, the airline ultimately called off the flight, citing technical difficulties as the main reason.
Passengers, who had already endured hours confined inside the aircraft, were asked to deboard and wait in the airport’s holding area. According to reports, the passengers had completed immigration procedures and were on the plane for nearly five hours before the final cancellation decision. Frustration grew as passengers alleged that no food or water was provided during their extended wait, and airline representatives were largely unavailable for communication.
The lack of clarity and support further heightened the discomfort for those stuck at the airport. In response, an IndiGo spokesperson expressed regret for the cancellation, assuring affected travelers that they would be rebooked on subsequent flights to their destinations. The airline also confirmed that hotel accommodations and necessary assistance would be provided to all stranded passengers.
While IndiGo has apologized for the inconvenience, this incident underscores the challenges pa.
