glad the gentleman opened the door after we landed in Bengaluru: Danish

More than 50 flights faced delays from the KIA

Delay was due to foggy weather

Indian comedian and television host Danish Sait recounted an incident of an individual opening an emergency exit of a flight in the Bengaluru Airport. With his trademark humour in place he stated, “My sincere gratitude to the gentleman who opened the emergency exit door on our Indigo flight 6E 5047 from Mumbai to Bengaluru. The flight was severely delayed ( like 4 hours late) glad the gentleman opened the door after we landed in Bengaluru and not while we were in Mumbai.”  

My sincere gratitude to the gentleman who opened the emergency exit door on our Indigo flight 6E 5047 from Mumbai to Bengaluru. The flight was severely delayed ( like 4 hours late) glad the gentleman opened the door after we landed in Bengaluru and not while we were in Mumbai 🤙

Meanwhile it is being reported that more than 50 flights faced delays from the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru. This was due to foggy weather preventing travel to Goa, Delhi, Varanasi, Mumbai, Prayagraj and Vijayawada. This led to angry reactions from the passengers. “Absolute pandemonium with flights across airlines here at Bengaluru airport! Are airlines accountable for the mess they are leaving paying passengers in or no?! What are we supposed to do?! Shame!” Bollywood actor Ranvir SHorey shared on his social media profile. Indigo however offered a clarification in this regard. “We completely understand the discomfort and it was never our intent, however, we are facing consequential delay due to the late arrival of the incoming flight owing to operational reasons,” Indigo said.
