IndiGo flight chaos leaves Sabarimala pilgrims stranded at Cochin airport
India
IndiGo's ongoing flight disruptions have caused big headaches at Cochin Airport, with dozens of Sabarimala pilgrims stuck for hours.
On Thursday, about 40 pilgrims from Hyderabad ended up waiting 10-12 hours for a way home.
IndiGo eventually arranged road transport to help them out.
How Cochin airport and IndiGo are responding
Cochin Airport, which handles hundreds of Sabarimala-bound travelers daily, has set up a help center to support stranded passengers during these disruptions.
The airport team is working closely with IndiGo and reminding everyone to double-check their flight status before heading out.
What's behind the delays—and what's next?
IndiGo's troubles aren't just in Kochi—major cities like Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi, and Hyderabad are seeing cancelations too.
