A crisis unfolded at Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Airport on Wednesday when Indigo airlines cancelled 19 flights to various destinations, including Delhi and Bengaluru. The cancellations were attributed to airline-related technology and operational issues, leading to significant delays and disruptions. This was not an isolated incident, as 21 incoming flights were also cancelled from various destinations, according to airport sources. The airline's struggles continued from the previous day, with nine flights cancelled on Tuesday. Social media platforms were filled with videos of agitated passengers confronting airline staff over the cancellations. The situation was exacerbated by the fact that many Indigo flights were delayed across various airports due to a shortage of crew members. In response to the chaos, an airline spokesperson acknowledged the delays and cancellations, citing technology issues, airport congestion, and operational requirements as the primary causes. The airport authorities, however, maintained that operations at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport remained normal. The incident has sparked outrage among passengers, with many taking to social media to express their frustration and disappointment. A netizen even tagged Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Ministers Amit Shah and Ram Mohan Naidu, calling for immediate action to address the issue. The airline has urged passengers to contact their customer service team for the latest updates on flight status.
