According to Kapil Sharma, the airline first had the passengers wait for half an hour on the bus. Actor and comedian Kapil Sharma blasted IndiGo on Wednesday on X (formerly Twitter) for failing to explain the flight’s delay and leaving customers waiting on a bus at Chennai Airport

The 42-year-old claims the airline made them wait half an hour on the bus. According to Sharma, the pilot was stuck in traffic and had turned up for takeoff at 9:20 p.m., even though the scheduled departure time was 8 p.m.
Greetings, @IndiGo6E. After having us wait 50 minutes on the bus, your crew now asserts that the pilot is stuck in traffic. Why is this happening? Would you say that? Would these 180 individuals likely book Indigo flights again? Even though the scheduled takeoff time was 8 o’clock, the pilot was still nowhere to be seen in the cockpit as of 9:20. Along with the word “never,” he wrote it down.
Additionally, Sharma shared a video on Twitter showing the passengers being assisted off the aircraft. He described how the airline had told them they would have to board another plane, only to have them undergo security checks again. An argument between customers and airline staff escalates in a video that Sharma posted online. Their desire to talk with an official is unwavering.
The elderly passengers on board are in poor health and experiencing unnecessary hardship due to your deceit, @IndiGo6E. “Shame on you” is a phrase that Sharma coined. IndiGo tweeted that the delay was due to operational issues at the Chennai airport.
As an Indigo flyer, I seldom see issues with this. If the pilot is running behind schedule, what contingency preparations does the company have in place? Try to recruit another pilot to join your team. Picture this: your sound technician is running behind schedule for the show. What are your intentions? Until Jesus comes, everyone here will need to wait patiently. Such event-related issues are common and will have been experienced early in your career. Therefore, the pilot, not the company, is at blame here. If the problem is an unusually long traffic jam, someone should be held accountable, not everyone else.
I had always thought IndiGo was the most punctual airline as my experiences with them had always been good. “Hearing about customers getting hurt because pilots and airline workers were careless is disturbing,” someone another said. He posted footage of passengers getting off the plane to indicate that they had to return to the airport for security checks after being informed of an aircraft change.
“Now they are deboarding all the passengers and saying we will send you on another aircraft, but again, we have to go back to the terminal for a security check,” he said. To put it simply, you are remarkable. Followers will flock to your every move. Thus, when things go rough, you should shine the brightest! What you’re doing reminds me of the new rich! Damn it, man! “You just can’t be authentic 100% of the time,” another commenter on the internet observed.
