Lufthansa strike: Commotion in Delhi’s T3 airport after airline cancels flights
A huge crowd gathered outside the departure area of Terminal 3 of the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport late Thursday night after nearly 150 people, including family members and relatives of passengers, protested against the cancellation of two international flights of Lufthansa Airlines without prior intimation, leaving the 700 passengers stranded, the IGI unit of Delhi Police said on Friday.
The gathering of the crowd led to traffic chaos and passengers arriving at the departure area of the airport were inconvenienced.
The people dispersed after senior police officers, including deputy commissioner of police (IGI Airport) Tanu Sharma, arrived there and intervened to open channels of communication between the airlines and passengers that eventually normalised the situation at gate number 1 of the departure area, the police said.
