What was the IndiGo message Simon Wong shared
Wong posted a screenshot of IndiGo’s communication, in which the airline informed him that his flight had been cancelled “due to recent disruptions”.
The message said the airline would issue a full refund within 3–5 days. IndiGo also apologised for the impact on travel plans and requested passengers’ patience “as our teams work to support all affected customers”.
What Rahul Gandhi had to say
Congress leader and LoP Rahul Gandhi on Thursday blamed the government for the large-scale flight delays and cancellations across IndiGo’s network, calling the disruption a result of what he termed the Centre’s “monopoly model”.
In a post on X, he said: “IndiGo fiasco is the cost of this Govt’s monopoly model. Once again, it’s ordinary Indians who pay the price — in delays, cancellations and helplessness. India deserves fair competition in every sector, not match-fixing monopolies.”
The remark came as passengers across airports reported long delays and last-minute cancellations.
