Grounded! Indigo cancels 30 flights on Tuesday, passengers forced to buy tickets at high fares

The spate of flight cancellations, which began on Saturday last week, continues unabated at IndiGo. Tuesday was the fourth consecutive day when the low-cost airline, which operates the largest network of flights in the country, cancelled 30 flights from major airports, including Kolkata, Hyderabad and Bengaluru, thus inconveniencing a large number of passengers. Sources alleged that the airline was forcing passengers to either buy last minute fares or it was offering them alternate flights with one-stop connectivity with a long transit time.
