A severe crew shortage at IndiGo has triggered massive disruption for passengers across several airports, leading to widespread chaos and frustration.
With hundreds of flights cancelled, piles of unclaimed baggage were seen at terminals, and many passengers spent the night on the airport floor waiting for rescheduled flights.
In one instance, a couple from Hubli, Karnataka, was forced to attend their own wedding reception online after their flight was cancelled.
A video circulating on social media captured a distressed father pleading with airline staff for sanitary pads for his daughter, saying she was bleeding and needed immediate assistance, highlighting the gravity of the situation.
Photos from multiple airports show the worsening crisis caused by the large-scale cancellations.
