Chaos at the Ahmedabad airport as several flights delayed and canceled due to fog in Delhi
January 15, 2024
Ahmedabad: Dozens of passengers stuck at the Ahmedabad airport went on social media platforms to express their frustration over delayed and cancelled flights on Sunday. The passengers were complaining first about delayed flights, then they complained about cancelled flights. Some passengers also pointed out that delayed flights turned into cancelled flights and the cancelled flights turned into delayed flights during the course of the day. The problem regarding delayed and cancelled flight at SVPI airport in Ahmedabad was attributed to fog at Delhi airport due to which number of flights could not take off from Delhi airport and therefore they couldn’t arrive at Ahmedabad airport to take further or return journey. The passengers complained about poor or no communication from the airlines and no water or food offered from the airlines even after hours long delay and eventual cancellation of flights. The airline company staffers at Ahmedabad airport continued to convey to the passengers that the situation was due to fog at Delhi airport and linked low visibility. Some passengers also complained about the lack of sitting space for the passengers after a number of flights got delayed.
All mess in ahmedabad airport today. Most flights of indigo delayed by over 12 hours. People are tired and are not receiving any help from flight staff. They are not even being offered water and are being very ill treated. @IndiGo6E @DGCAIndia @JM_Scindia pic.twitter.com/xcuGfFVXuw

Indigo is the worst airline ever. Flight 6E-2338 (Delhi to Ahmedabad) was scheduled to depart at 1:15pm, kept delaying and now at 8:15pm they have even stopped updating the passengers, no refreshments have been provided, the staff has been unhelpful. (1/2)@IndiGo6E @JM_Scindia

@IndiGo6E such poor service ! My flight to Delhi from Ahmedabad got cancelled and I didn’t even get a message or an email regarding it. On top of it, the staff sitting here is being so rude to all the stranded passengers. There’s no one sitting on the desk. pic.twitter.com/wSXzU2RAh8

Headline : The mess at Delhi airport with a sleeping @DGCAIndia and @JM_Scindia
Delhi airport has 4 runways, guess how many are operational ? One. Yes. And guess what, the operational runway does not have CAT 3, so cannot operate in fog. No flights took off for 5 hours. Why?1/4 pic.twitter.com/XEUs1uaRUB
