Flyers react on Indigo’s temporary glitch


Booked a last-minute flight coz I desperately needed to get home ASAP—only for the servers to crash and the flight to get delayed. So now, instead of zooming through the skies, I’m stuck in an airport purgatory where the only thing flying is my patience… out the window.#indigo

#Indigo airlines computer systems have crashed and they have a massive backup at airports. I am in Kolkata taking off. Is anyplace else is India having a similar issue


Very bad and laid back service of Indigo Shirdi Airport.


Technical Glitch at @IndiGo6E
Airport looks like Railway Station

@IndiGo6E your services are down. I'm not able to book any Indigo flight on any platform including your own!

@IndiGo6E it’s good to invest in new aircrafts but how about improving the ground services! This is the scene at indigo counters at Bangalore T1 for last one hour. Additional counters are required, disturbing to see old people suffering. @DGCAIndia please notice
