Renowned filmmaker Kiran Rao found herself stuck at Mumbai Airport's Terminal 2 for over 11 hours due to repeated flight delays and unclear communication from IndiGo. The airline's cancellations have left hundreds of passengers stranded nationwide. Rao expressed her frustration on Instagram, poking fun at the situation by joking about checking Delhi's pollution while waiting. Her remarks come as IndiGo grapples with mass cancellations of flights across major airports due to mismanagement in planning crew rosters following the implementation of new Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL). The disruptions have caused long queues, confusion, and chaos surrounding baggage claims, leading to widespread discontent among passengers. In an effort to address the issue, the government has capped domestic ticket prices to curb spiraling airfare prices. IndiGo has announced that it will fully refund all bookings canceled between December 5 and December 15, and waive rescheduling fees. While cancellations have decreased, the airline still faces significant challenges in managing its operations. As the situation unfolds, passengers are advised to stay informed about their flight status and any updates from the airline. The government's intervention aims to provide relief to stranded travelers and restore order to the country's air travel industry.
