Team,
I am writing this with great disappointment and to bring your knowledge the unwarranted trouble my family had to face while travelling with your airline from pune due to unprofessional behaviour of your staff.
My aunt and her son, who’d recently had a knee surgery, for which we’d asked for and been provided with wheel chair assistance, were denied boarding after the issue of boarding pass.
Instead of boarding a wheel chair bound passenger on priority, they were kept waiting at the boarding gate and once all others were on the plane, the airline staff denied boarding at the last moment.
My grievances are :
1) as per your website wheel chair assisted passengers are boarded first so why the digress from protocol?
2) the website also mentions that wheel chair assistance passengers are given requested seats. So when a wheel chair assistance passenger was flying with you why a front row seat was not available to be given to the passenger?
3) on what terms the passengers were denied boarding after the issue of boarding pass?
My family members were mistreated and mentally harassed by your staff members at the airport who were not helpful at all. My brother was in discomfort.
The lady at the desk was arrogant and unprofessional. She had the audacity to tell us that she had all the rights to deny the boarding.
Is that how a special assistance passenger be treated?
When requested to get us on another flight, we were given an option of a flight to delhi at late night. And asked to stay overnight at delhi airport and take the next morning flight to chandigarh.
My family then requested for a flight to delhi and arrange a cab to patiala.
Also a refund for the bangalore to chandigarh flight was requested.
The airline staff denied any transportation to be arranged which was an additional cost for us of 5000 inr by road from delhi to patiala.
We also had to pay the amount to the taxi that was booked from chandigarh airport to patiala, an additional cost of 2200 inr.
We have not been given any refund of the flights from pune to chandigarh also.
This is a case of customer harassment, and i want a strict action to be taken against the airline staff for their irresponsible dealings and misconduct.
I request an explanation for the above incident and also airfare refunds including the extra cab charges incurred.
We’ve been flying indigo for many years now and chose your airlines for their hassle free dealings and professionalism. However, this incident has left us with reservations for future travel with your airline.
I’m hoping this was a one off incident and my grievances will be addressed at the earliest.
I’m attaching the copies of the boarding passes and medical certificate certifying fitness to travel by air for your action please.
