Flight cancellation triggers protest

The cancellation of an Indigo flight owing to a technical glitch invited passenger wrath at the Cochin International Airport on Friday morning.

The flight (6E 172) bound for Kolkata via Bengaluru with more than 160 passengers on board was scheduled for departure at 10.45 a.m.

However, it had to be cancelled following the detection of the problem.

The passengers protested, but they eventually relented after the airline promised quick remedy to the issue and accommodated them in small batches in its other flights.
