Passengers Left Without Electricity Aboard a Delhi-Bound Indigo Flight for More Than 30 Mins

Passengers aboard an IndiGo flight from Vadodara to New Delhi faced a distressing ordeal after a technical issue grounded the aircraft, reportedly leaving travelers trapped inside the cabin for approximately 30 minutes without air conditioning.

The incident occurred on flight 6E 657 before departure procedures could be completed at the Vadodara airport. According to accounts shared by travelers, the aircraft’s air conditioning system stopped functioning while the plane remained on the tarmac in scorching hear. Passengers alleged that the aircraft doors were kept firmly shut during the delay, causing ventilation to deteriorate rapidly and sparking anxiety and discomfort among those on board.

One traveler while discussing the situation on social media, claimed that the delay was caused when the ground pushback system developed a mechanical fault. The passenger further alleged that the airport lacked readily available replacement equipment to resolve the issue quickly, leaving the plane stranded and causing passengers to become increasingly agitated. Several individuals also raised concerns regarding a lack of adequate communication from the airline staff as the situation unfolded.

In response to the complaints surfacing online, IndiGo issued a statement expressing regret for the inconvenience caused to the passengers and noted that the airline is currently looking into the matter. However, neither IndiGo nor the Vadodara airport authorities have issued an official statement confirming the exact technical snag or detailing the precise duration of the delay.
