IndiGo Turkey flights leave baggage behind at Delhi’s IGI Airport

NEW DELHI: IndiGo’s Delhi-Istanbul flight on Sunday left behind check-in baggage of passengers at Delhi’s IGI Airport. While the airline clarified that it had done so for a few Istanbul-bound flights in the recent days due to “strong headwinds”, passengers were left fuming.
A passenger, Chinmay Dabke, tweeted: “Just flew in on flight 6E 11 from Delhi to Istanbul (Sunday) evening. We received this piece of paper when we were waiting for our luggage at the belt. The airline did not load the luggage of the entire flight. Not a single passenger got their luggage…. I get you forgot the luggage for a few people on the flight. But the entire flight? (sic)”
An IndiGo spokesperson said: “Unfortunately, due to the exceptionally heavy headwind, we had certain pay load restrictions on a few fights to Istanbul, which led to offloading of a limited number of checked in baggage.
