IndiGo is probably going through one of the harshest phases ever since its inauguration. The airline has been making headlines recently for mostly non-so-expected reasons and videos of all these unfortunate incidents are going viral, impacting its reputation. In the past few days, a lot of things have taken place concerning IndiGo and this triggered a meme fest among social media users.
IndiGo Passengers Ate Dinner On The Tarmac
Taking to the X (formerly Twitter) platform, Rajdeep Sardesai (@sardesairajdeep) shared footage of IndiGo passengers at the Mumbai airport’s tarmac.
And we thought this would only happen at a railway station. Passengers of IndiGo Goa-Delhi who after 12 hours delayed flight got diverted to Mumbai having dinner just next to the Indigo plane (by the way, most of our railway stations seem to be smarter than ever before!) 😊👍 pic.twitter.com/bjFFMMd76n

The incident of frustrated flyers sitting on the tarmac and having dinner has shocked the aviation industry. According to reports, a flight bound for Delhi took off after about 12 hours of the scheduled time from Goa. Well, the delay was not the only misery. The plane did not land at Delhi, instead, it diverted and departed at Mumbai. Angry passengers collected food and sat right on the tarmac near the parked flight.
Clips from this incident started going viral on the Internet and more and more Netizens began slamming IndiGo for their services and inconveniences caused to the passengers. People began pointing out the faults in the airline’s facilities and criticised them for all these miserable experiences.

Just a couple of days ago, another video went viral where a passenger can be seen hitting the co-pilot. The man physically assaulted the co-pilot when he was announcing something about the flight delay. The IndiGo plane was bound to Goa from Delhi and delayed by about 13 hours. While the pilot was announcing, the passenger attacked him. He was later handed over to the authorities, got arrested, and was bailed as well.

Unbelievable visual.

They must have charged the passengers for this amazing under the sky, out-of-the-plane dining experience.

One candle in front of each plate & Indigo could have charged them for a candle lit dinner under the stars.
