IndiGo Cancels Flights to and from 6 Cities Including Jammu & Amritsar for May 13
In a sudden move, IndiGo, one of India’s largest low-cost carriers, has announced the cancellation of its flight operations to and from six major cities, including Jammu, Amritsar, Chandigarh, Leh, Srinagar, and Rajkot, for May 13. The decision has been taken “in light of latest developments and with [passenger] safety as our utmost priority,” IndiGo said in a statement.
This unprecedented move by IndiGo comes on the heels of a recent incident where one of its flights to Amritsar returned to Delhi midway due to a precautionary blackout in Amritsar on Monday. The flight, which was carrying over 150 passengers, was forced to make an emergency landing at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport after the pilots received a warning about a possible blackout in Amritsar.
The cancellation of flights to and from these six cities is likely to cause inconvenience to thousands of passengers who had booked tickets on these routes. IndiGo has not yet provided any information on how it plans to compensate passengers who have been affected by the cancellation of flights.
Meanwhile, the airline has assured its passengers that it is working closely with the relevant authorities to ensure the safety of its passengers and crew. “We are working closely with the authorities to ensure that our operations are safe and secure,” an IndiGo spokesperson said. “We apologize for any inconvenience caused to our passengers and appreciate their understanding and cooperation in this matter.”
The cancellation of flights to and from these six cities is likely to have a significant impact on the travel plans of passengers who had booked tickets on these routes. Many passengers are likely to be left stranded at airports, while others may have to make alternative arrangements to reach their destinations.
The move by IndiGo comes at a time when the country is grappling with a surge in COVID-19 cases, which has led to a series of restrictions and lockdowns in various parts of the country. The cancellation of flights to and from these six cities is likely to add to the difficulties faced by passengers who are already struggling to cope with the pandemic.
In recent months, IndiGo has been facing several challenges, including a surge in COVID-19 cases and a series of technical issues with its aircraft. The airline has been working to address these issues and has taken several measures to improve the safety and security of its operations.
However, the cancellation of flights to and from these six cities is likely to raise questions about the airline’s ability to operate safely and efficiently. The airline has a reputation for being one of the most reliable and efficient airlines in the country, but the cancellation of flights to and from these six cities is likely to damage its reputation.
In conclusion, the cancellation of flights to and from six cities including Jammu, Amritsar, Chandigarh, Leh, Srinagar, and Rajkot by IndiGo is a significant development that is likely to have a significant impact on the travel plans of thousands of passengers. The airline has assured its passengers that it is working closely with the relevant authorities to ensure the safety of its passengers and crew, but the cancellation of flights is likely to raise questions about the airline’s ability to operate safely and efficiently.
