IndiGo flight chaos leaves Chennai travelers stuck for days

India

For the third day in a row, IndiGo flight cancelations have stranded passengers at Chennai airport.
With CISF blocking entry, even those with urgent plans—like a government worker missing work and two young skating champs forced into a 15-hour road trip—were left scrambling for solutions.

Frustration grows as basics and updates fall short

Travelers say IndiGo's response has been lacking, with little food or water provided and poor communication about what's happening.
Arun, an SRM University student whose Muscat flight was canceled last-minute, shared that his family had to quickly arrange costly backup travel.

DGCA steps in, but problems remain

Aiming to help, India's aviation regulator (DGCA) relaxed some rules so IndiGo could get back on track.
Still, many feel both the airline and officials need to step up support and keep passengers better informed—especially since these disruptions are taking a real toll on people's wallets and peace of mind.
