Elvish Yadav Calls Out IndiGo Airlines Over 2.5-Hour Flight Delay
Popular YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav blasted IndiGo Airlines for a 2.5-hour flight delay, accusing the carrier of “such lack of respect” for passengers. The incident has reignited debates about customer service standards in India’s aviation industry.
What Triggered Elvish Yadav’s Outrage?
Yadav took to Instagram Stories to vent after his IndiGo flight was delayed without a clear explanation. The delay disrupted his travel plans, prompting him to tag the airline and demand accountability.
“Such lack of respect for passengers’ time! No proper explanation, no urgency to resolve the issue. Are we just supposed to accept this?”
His post went viral, with thousands of passengers sharing similar IndiGo delay horror stories.
IndiGo’s Silence Sparks Backlash
As of now, IndiGo has not responded to Yadav’s allegations. The airline, which controls over 60% of India’s domestic market, has faced repeated criticism for:
– Frequent flight delays
– Poor communication
– Baggage handling issues
This isn’t the first PR crisis for IndiGo—earlier this year, the airline faced scrutiny over last-minute cancellations and staff shortages.
Public Reaction: Support & Criticism
While many backed Yadav, others argued delays are common in Indian aviation due to:
✔ Air traffic congestion
✔ Weather disruptions
✔ Technical issues
Some critics suggested Yadav expected VIP treatment, but most agreed airlines must improve transparency during delays.
Why Are Flight Delays Increasing in India?
According to DGCA data, IndiGo had one of the highest delay rates in 2023. Key reasons include:
1. Shortage of pilots & ground staff
2. Airport congestion (Delhi, Mumbai hubs)
3. Aging aircraft maintenance
4. Weak passenger compensation policies
What Can Flyers Do?
Passengers affected by delays can:
– Track flights in real-time via airline apps
– Demand compensation under DGCA rules
– Escalate complaints via social media & emails
Will IndiGo Respond?
With Yadav’s 30M+ follower base, the backlash could force IndiGo to act. If the airline ignores complaints, competitors like Air India & Akasa Air may gain trust.
Final Takeaway
Yadav’s rant highlights a systemic issue—Indian airlines must prioritize better communication and passenger rights. For now, passengers await IndiGo’s response.
