Over 200 passengers stuck on IndiGo flight at Chennai airport for 5 hours
Over 200 passengers on an IndiGo flight from Chennai to Singapore were made to stay seated inside the aircraft for nearly five hours on Tuesday, far exceeding the actual flight time, sparking widespread frustration and a viral video capturing heated exchanges with airline staff.
An IndiGo statement said flight 6E 1025 was required to return to the bay after a minor technical issue was detected. During the inspection and maintenance process, the operating cockpit crew crossed the permitted flight duty time limits, making a crew change mandatory and resulting in additional delay.
