Fogged out & stranded: Nightmare at dawn at IGI

New Delhi: It was a harrowing Friday morning for passengers travelling in and out of the capital. With fog descending over the city, many flights - domestic and international - were delayed and, in some cases, cancelled. The telltale sign of the inconvenience faced by passengers was evident on their faces. While many were relieved to finally land or board the flight, some had experiences qualifying as nightmares.
Sneha Sawant, a passenger from Mumbai who flew into the capital, says she was glad to finally reach Delhi. "We reached the airport and had also boarded the Go Air flight on time. But after an hour, we were moved to another flight," said Sawant. She was not informed about the delay nor was any reason cited for it.
For another passenger who did not want to be named, the morning was a nightmare. Travelling from Mumbai to Digboi, Assam, this man had a connecting flight from Delhi. "My flight, Go Air, in Mumbai was delayed by two hours. First I was not informed about the delay. Then when I reached Delhi, I was told that I missed the connecting IndiGo flight," said the passenger. "I do not have the money to buy another ticket. I hope the airways are able to help me," he added.
