2 Planes Get Bomb Threats, Operational Airline IndiGo At Indian Airport Chaos

The threat of a bomb against two IndiGo aircraft has left the airline experiencing chaos or operational chaos at a number of airports in India to this day, Friday, December 5.

The incident that threatened the bombing of two IndiGo aircraft on the United Arab Emirates (UAE)-India route triggered disruption to flight cancellations.

Citing AP, Friday, December 5, this operational chaos is also after the airline IndiGo today, or the fourth day of implementing a new regulation on reducing the working hours of India's largest airline employee and pilot.

According to the airline, the new regulation requires longer rest times and limits IndiGo airline curfews to address concerns about fatigue and safety.

IndiGo is known to operate around 2,300 flights daily and controls nearly 65 percent of India's domestic aviation market.

IndiGo passengers at a number of airports in India affected by the situation were seen sleeping on the airport floor, queuing for hours at the customer service counter, and waiting for confirmation of flights without clear communication from airlines.

Elderly (elderly) passenger Sajal Bose who is scheduled to travel with his wife, Senjuti Bose, this Friday morning from Kolkata to New Delhi admitted that he was very affected.

Originally Bose and his wife were traveling using the IndiGo airline to attend a friend's silver birthday celebration. However, the flight was canceled an hour before the takeoff schedule.

Bose told AP was redesigning the transportation he would use. It became necessary to travel the train for nine hours to the city of Bagdogra, where he plans to fly to New Delhi with another airline.

"This is very irresponsible and a total negligence. It is very difficult for parents like us," he said.

In an internal email to its employees this week, viewed by AP, CEO of IndiGo, Pieter Elbers, apologized, and mentioned technological disruptions, schedule changes, bad weather conditions, increased congestion, and the application of new rules as reasons for flight disruptions.

IndiGo has proposed a temporary exception in implementing the new rules and informed the government that corrective measures are underway. IndiGo indicated that the operation would fully recover on February 10.
