I got my boarding pass at 5 and i was waiting near the gate for my friend to join the flight. Without any announcement they closed the boarding at 5:45 am. My flight time is 06:10 am.
When i reached out to the indigo personnel, they simply say sorry mam, boarding is closed., leaving me behind even after knowing that i have collected my boarding pass. Indigo personnel told me that, as it is a silent airport, announcement will not be made.
Indigo is not a passenger friendly airlines. They depart 10-15 mins before the boarding time and close the boarding without any courtesy/ a second thought about passenger, such a selfish business minders.
Later we paid 2800 to get the next flight. I noticed the same issue in kochi airport too. Their departure time is 09:40pm. But they board the passengers at 09:15 pm and close the boarding very earlier.
I guess they are very keen on their improving their profit of the business, by leaving the passengers behind and getting extra money to schedule the next flight. Their over perfect quality of punctuality can also be shown in calling the passenger before closing the boarding, i would have called them legend of the airlines.
I just hate indigo for their careless overattitude

IndiGo Customer Care's response Hi Sathiya,
We are sorry to hear that you feel this way. Please be informed that boarding gate closes 25 min prior to the scheduled departure time of flight. Chennai airport is a silent airport, hence we are not allowed to do the announcement. Also, we do not call up passengers upon their contact number though paging announcements are made before the closure of boarding gates. Further, flight information displays were updated about the timings. Since our boarding gates were closed at the time of your reporting, our staff was unable to accept you for the same flight.
Further, our endeavour is to assist our valued passengers at all times, therefore with an intention to help you reach the destination, our airport team offered you to accommodate on the next available flight subject to payment of applicable charges, which were accepted by you. We sincerely hope that you will see this matter in the right spirit.
Regards,
IndiGo Team
