[Resolved]  Indigo Airlines — harassment for aged people

My parents (Amit bhattacharya/sutapa bhattacharya) were supposed to travel via 6e 822 from kolkata to bangalore. I am totally aware of the policy that you hold regarding timely departure. However, my parents are old and my mother being on high medication due to ailment had to go to the washroom.
My father was at the gate asking to wait for a minute, am sure this would not have delayed the flight in any case. We are educated people, do realize the importance of time. But, manuel was the indigo staff at the gate who refused to accept my father's presence at the gate. I believe you are not the only airlines running, if you cannot care and respect elderly people, you do not deserve to run any service. Now, the flight needs to be rescheduled, my parents are waiting but now they say there isn't any provision to confirm soon. When my parents were travelling last time to bangalore when i met with an accident, your flight was delayed for 3 hours, if that was justified i am sure one minute late for a genuine cause can be incorporated.
I am even aware of the flight departure procedure, it does take another 10 15 minutes post boarding to departure, so i am sure my parents could have been incorporated.
Keeping this in mind, i would like immediate help and assistance for my old parents at the airport and a confirmed accommodation in the next flight. If not kindly make your tag lines clear "indigo is not fit for aged people".

Hi Dishari

With reference to your post, we have investigated the matter and would like to summarize our findings for you.
Passengers were booked to travel on flight 6E 822 from Kolkata to Bengaluru which was scheduled to depart at 11:30 hours on 12th April 2018. As per policy, boarding gate closes 25 minutes prior to departure. Based on our records, passengers reported at 11:17 hours which is 8 minutes prior to the departure. Since our boarding gates were already closed for the flight, our staff tried with ramp security if it is possible but it was too late to board the flight.
At IndiGo, our endeavor is to assist our valued passengers at all times, therefore with an intention to help passengers reach the destination, our airport team offered to accommodate you on the next available flight, subject to payment of applicable charges, which we understand were accepted by passenger and duly travelled at the destination.
As always, we were happy to have provided assistance to you and would request your understanding in this regard.
We look forward to serving you on board again.

Regards,
IndiGo Team
