- Due to technical fault, the plane was changed and the passengers were sent in the evening.
A major incident related to Indigo airline has come to light on Friday (June 26, 2026) at Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport in the country’s capital Delhi, where passengers are accusing the airline of keeping them captive inside the plane and during this time many passengers present in the flight have also complained of suffocation.
Actually, passengers had boarded Indigo flight 6E-2614, which flew from Delhi to Ranchi from Terminal-2 of Delhi Airport, but the plane did not take off for a long time. During this period, even the AC was not switched on in the flight cabin. Due to which many passengers sitting in the plane started suffocating.
What allegations did passengers make against Indigo Airline?
The passengers allege that they were kept inside the plane without AC for more than an hour. Passengers say that whenever they complained about this to the cabin crew, they were repeatedly asked to wait for just five more minutes, but then there was no change in the situation and due to cold and lack of air in the closed cabin of the plane, people started suffocating.
