Other Flight Delays
It seems that there have been a lot of flight delays lately. One of the more memorable cases where a flight was delayed happened when an IndiGo pilot said that they were tired and couldn’t fly until their replacement pilot showed up.
This significantly delayed the flight and a man, whose wife was stuck on the flight, took to Twitter to vent about the frustrating situation. Many flight delays also happened because of cyclone Biparjoy.
Since many parts of the country are plagued by heavy rains as of now, it is recommended that people who are flying do their due diligence before leaving their houses. Before leaving, make sure that the flight they are taking isn’t being delayed.
