00:00 Indigo, hai hai!
00:07 A group of disgruntled passengers at Delhi's airport expressed their frustration on Wednesday
00:12 by chanting slogans against the domestic carrier Indigo, alleging the cancellation of their flight.
00:17 In a video shared by news agency ANI, the passengers can be heard shouting,
00:21 "Bant karo, bant karo"
00:23 following the cancellation of their Delhi to Jharkhand's Deoghar flight.
00:27 Flightradar24, a flight tracking website, reported that over 10 flights were cancelled
00:32 and more than 50 flights faced delays at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport
00:36 that morning due to dense fog and adverse weather conditions.
00:40 Indigo in a statement said the flight was cancelled due to factors beyond the airline's control.
00:45 Indigo flight 602198 from Delhi to Deoghar was cancelled on January 30 and January 31, 2024
00:52 due to sudden drop in weather conditions around the airport in Deoghar.
00:56 Passengers were served with refreshments and options to avail a full refund, alternate sectors or rescheduling.
01:02 "We regret the inconvenience caused due to factors beyond the airline's control," the statement read.
01:07 Earlier today, Indigo issued an adversary cautioning passengers about potential disruptions in flight operations
01:12 at Delhi, Srinagar and Chandigarh due to inclement weather.
01:16 The airline urged travellers to check their flight status before heading to the airport.
01:20 This comes in the wake of Indigo being fined Rs 1.2 crore for five violations earlier this month,
01:25 the penalties were imposed after passengers were observed eating on the tarmac while waiting for their flights to take off.
01:31 Termed a violation of apron discipline by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation,
01:35 it was reported that on January 15, passengers from two Indigo flights were on the apron for an extended period at Mumbai's CSMI airport.
01:42 This action was deemed a breach of DGCA Air Safety Circular 04 of 2007, prohibiting walking on an active apron.
01:49 The DGCA emphasised that such violations jeopardised the safety of both passengers and the aircraft.
01:55 Indigo has been instructed to settle the penalty, the highest imposed on airlines recently, within 30 days.
