The unprecedented level of cancellations and delays of the IndiGo airlines for the past five days triggered scenes of chaos across airports as passengers frustrated with the operational disruptions tried navigating through the situation.

More than 500 IndiGo flights were cancelled across airports in India on Saturday. Bengaluru was the worst-hit with 124 flight cancellations as IndiGo, which is India’s largest airline, is facing operational disruptions. As many flights were cancelled or delayed, confusion continued at major airports as frustrated passengers waited for updates and also tried to locate their luggage. Many took to social media to express their anger as airfares rose sharply on several routes.

Amid the chaos on Friday, a male passenger was seen upset and shouting at the airline’s help desk, demanding assistance. He pleaded, “Sister, meri beti ko (sanitary) pad chahiye.'' Video of the incident was shared on social media and was reportedly from Delhi's Indira Gandhi International airport. Another video is being shared on social media showing a foreign woman jumping the counter of the IndiGo airlines and shouting at the staff as she is visibly distressed by the cancellation.

The viral video shows an African woman demanding answers from IndiGo staff after her flight was abruptly cancelled. When she allegedly receives no response, she loses her temper, climbs onto the counter, and begins shouting about the airline’s mismanagement.
