The airline issued a statement apologizing for the inconvenience but failed to alleviate passenger concerns effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Social Media Outrage Highlights Poor Customer Service<\/strong><br>Affected passengers turned to platforms like X and LinkedIn to share their experiences. Flyers described repeated delays, cancellations, and inadequate communication from IndiGo. Anushri Bhansali, a stranded passenger, revealed how she faced exhaustion and fever due to the delays, without receiving accommodation or meal vouchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Hey <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IndiGo6E?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@IndiGo6E<\/a> , your handling of flight 6E0018 from Istanbul to Mumbai on Dec 12 has been a disaster.

Parshwa Mehta shared his frustration about the lack of timely updates, noting that Turkish Airlines crews provided more information than IndiGo staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Passengers at Istanbul airport faced overcrowding in lounges meant to compensate for the delays, with no alternative flights or clear reparations plans offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Calls for Accountability and Compensation<\/strong><br>Passengers criticized IndiGo for its \u201cblatant failure of basic customer service.\u201d Many demanded an official apology and fair compensation.
