The airline compensates passengers who faced long hours of disruption during the December 3-5 flight chaos triggered by staff shortages.

Indigo has rolled out a compensation plan for passengers who went through severe inconvenience during large-scale flight disruptions between December 3 and 5. Several travellers were left waiting for long hours inside airports after congestion worsened due to a sudden staff shortage, affecting operations across major terminals.

Acknowledging the difficulties faced by passengers, the airline said that those “most severely impacted” will receive travel vouchers worth ₹10,000 each. These vouchers can be used for any Indigo flight over the next 12 months, giving affected flyers flexibility to rebook their upcoming journeys.
