A violent scuffle broke out between two passengers at Lucknow airport on Saturday, highlighting the growing tensions among travelers affected by IndiGo's massive flight cancellations. The unprecedented disruptions, which have plagued the country's airports for five days, have left thousands of passengers frustrated and searching for answers. Videos shared on social media show the chaotic scenes unfolding at major airports, including Bengaluru, which was hit hardest with 124 flight cancellations. The airline, India's largest, is facing operational issues that have led to widespread cancellations and delays. At Delhi's Indira Gandhi International airport, a passenger was seen pleading for help at the airline's help desk, demanding assistance for his daughter. The incident, which was captured on video, highlights the desperation of travelers affected by the cancellations. The situation took a turn for the worse at Lucknow airport, where two passengers engaged in a violent scuffle, exchanging blows and arguing with security personnel. The incident has sparked concerns about the safety and well-being of passengers during this period of operational disruption. The Indian government has taken steps to address the issue, capping domestic ticket prices at ₹7,500 for flights up to 500 km. However, the move has not eased the frustration among passengers, with many taking to social media to express their anger and disappointment. The disruptions have also led to a sharp increase in airfares on several routes, leaving passengers feeling shortchanged. As the situation continues to unfold, IndiGo is facing intense scrutiny and pressure to resolve the operational issues that have caused so much chaos. The airline has assured passengers that it is working to resolve the issues and minimize disruptions. However, the damage has already been done, and passengers are left to navigate the complex and often frustrating process of flight cancellations and delays.
