IndiGo added that its ground and cabin crew were assisting passengers amid the delays. “Our crew and on-ground teams are there to support you and ensure your wait is as comfortable as possible,” it said.

Moreover, the airline thanked travellers for their cooperation, saying, “We value your time and are doing everything we can to help you get on your way soon. Thank you for your continued understanding.”

Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport is one of the busiest in the country, where dense flight schedules often strain air traffic capacity during peak hours.
