NEW DELHI: IndiGo’s Delhi-Istanbul flight of Sunday (September 15) left behind check-in baggage of passengers at IGI airport. While the airline says it did so on a few flights to Istanbul in recent days due to “strong headwinds”, passengers of the affected flights are fuming.
A passenger Chinmay Dabke tweeted from his handle @chinmaydabke : “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?”
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.
