Passengers speak out: “We’re tired of waiting”

The cancellations triggered visible frustration at KIA’s Terminal 1.

Retired Wing Commander Santosh Kumar, who was scheduled to fly to Thiruvananthapuram, said he had been waiting since last night.

“My flight was cancelled yesterday itself… Nobody is telling me anything. I am tired of waiting,” he said.

“I don’t want a refund. I just want to go home. Even the washrooms here are difficult to use. The staff is not giving proper information.”

Several others echoed similar concerns, stating that airport staff were unable to provide accurate updates or alternative travel arrangements.

Travellers described the situation as confusing, with some saying they received only automated messages while others said they had no notification at all.
For many, the lack of clear communication was the biggest problem.

The situation at Bengaluru Airport remains tense, with passengers demanding clearer updates and quicker resolutions as IndiGo struggles to restore normal operations.
