The flight, supposed to depart at 05.05 am, finally departed at 8.17 am, according to flight tracking details on Flight Radar 24. A video of a distressed passenger screaming at the airline staff due to the delay did rounds on social media.Pune-based lawyer Yogesh Pande, who was also a passenger on the flight with seat number 5E, told The Indian Express, “The flight was three hours late and it was very troublesome for the passengers. The flight was supposed to take off at 5am and finally took off at 8am and reached Delhi after 10am. The gate was changed twice before boarding. We were boarded on the flight at 7am and made to sit for an hour inside before it finally took off.”He added, “Another flight to Ahmedabad was also delayed. They were giving us stories when we were in the flight. So, I asked them if we should get down and push the plane. This is not expected when we are paying such a huge amount of Rs 8000-9000 for a flight. A lady’s mother had passed away, so she was very furious and she created a ruckus.” In the video, a crowd is seen gathered around the passenger who was distressed and complaining to the airline staff due to the flight delay.In a reply to a post on social media platform X by Pande at 5.03 am, IndiGo’s official account wrote, “Hi! We regret the delay to your flight. As checked, the delay is due to operational reasons, and the revised departure time is now 0715 hrs. We are informing our airport team to ensure all possible assistance and look forward to serving you better in the future.”Click here to join Express Pune WhatsApp channel and get a curated list of our stories
