[Resolved]  Indigo Airlines — I am complaining about unfair treatment to passengers

I think indigo does not care for its passenger's time anymore. 'on time everytime' is just namesake. I had booked a ticket from delhi to bhubaneswar on 21st november 2018 at 8:55 am. I reached for checkin around 8:15 am for my 8:55 am flight and the staff did not allow me to board the flight. It is to mention that i had already completed web check-in few days ago. The indigo staff kept me standing till time was up and then i had no option but to buy another ticket for the next flight. The next flight was scheduled at 4 pm and i had to spend the whole day at the airport. I had come from rohini and there was no point going back and coming again.

To my dismay the flight at 4pm got delayed by more than half an hour for some unknown reason. It was scheduled to reach bhubaneswar at 6:05 pm but it actually reached around 6:45 pm. Is it alright if flight gets delayed, but when passenger gets delayed by few minutes you treat them so horribly?
Thanks indigo for wasting my money and my whole day. You just lost trust of a genuine customer today.

Regards,
Priyanka sahu

Hi Priyanka,

We understand missing a flight could be distressful. However, to ensure a hassle-free experience for everyone, we have to follow certain protocols like closing the check-in counter before 45 mins of flight departure. Sadly, you had reported post the counter closure, hence we were unable to allow you onboard.
Further, to make it as hassle-free for you as possible our airport team put you on the next available flight, at the cost of only the fare difference and re-accommodation charges.
Also, we would like to mention that your flight was delayed due to operational reasons. We do understand how delays can impact our customers but our operations dependent on various factors such as runway availability, air traffic congestion etc. which are beyond our control and determine our on-time performance. Please be rest assured that we always remain committed to assist our passengers in the best possible manner.

Regards,
IndiGo Team
