Anupam Mittal, founder of Shaadi.com, on Thursday claimed that Indian airlines were following a pattern of last-minute cancellations and rescheduling. Taking to Twitter, Mittal accused IndiGo and Tata Group’s Vistara of regularly cancelling flights due to a lack of passengers and then arranging alternative options to accommodate other flyers.
He wrote, “Clear pattern emerging on Indian airlines especially Vistara and Indigo when they don’t have enough load on a flight, they cancel last minute with impunity and without giving any reasons and combine with an earlier or later flight and call it ‘rescheduling’…”
The Shark Tank India judge requested his followers to retweet his post and tagged Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to draw attention to the matter in order to reduce inconvenience to travellers, especially the elderly.
