Just over two weeks ago, passengers of an IndiGo flight from Mumbai to Doha waited inside the aircraft for more than four hours as it was delayed due to a technical issue. The flight took off for the Qatar capital from Mumbai airport around 9:45 pm after a delay of nearly 18 hours.
"The aircraft tried to depart for its destination a couple of times but had to finally be called off due to the extended time lag on account of various procedural delays," the airline said in a statement.
A few days before the Mumbai-Doha IndiGo flight incident, IndiGo Airlines issued had an apology after passengers aboard the Delhi-Varanasi flight faced difficulties after the aircraft's air conditioning system malfunctioned and led to chaotic conditions in the aircraft.
“We extend our apologies for the inconvenience experienced on flight 6E 2235 operating from Delhi to Varanasi on September 5, 2024. The discomfort was attributed to fluctuations in cabin temperature, which were adjusted in response to passenger requests. Our cabin crew promptly extended assistance to the affected passenger to address the situation,” read a press statement from the airlines.
