Flyers protest, IndiGo drops flight diversion

For the second time in over a week, Pune-bound passengers faced rough weather in Ahmedabad. After last week’s diversion of Jet Airways Pune-Delhi flight owing to bad weather, passengers of Pune-Ahmedabad-Kolkata IndiGo fought off another diversion at Ahmedabad.
IndiGo Flight 6E136 from Kolkata to Pune via Ahmedabad left Kolkata at 11.15 am November 19 and landed at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Airport, Ahmedabad at 1 pm. After Ahmedabad-bound passengers disembarked, passengers continuing to Pune were asked to get down as their flight was to be diverted to Chennai owing to ‘operational difficulties’ and they would be put on another flight to Pune.
The 40-odd Pune-bound passengers refused to disembark despite requests from the IndiGo ground staff and even a plea from the captain, who explained that fog in Delhi had disrupted the schedule of all airlines.
