Actor-comedian Kapil Sharma expressed his discontent with IndiGo Airlines after experiencing a flight delay on Wednesday. Venting on social media, Sharma revealed that he and other passengers were stranded in a transit bus for almost an hour without any travel updates. He mentioned that the airline cited the pilot being stuck in traffic as the reason behind the delay. He Tweeted, “Dear @IndiGo6E first you made us wait in the bus for 50 minz, and now your team is saying pilot is stuck in traffic, what ? Really ? we supposed to take off by 8 pm n it’s 9:20, still there is no pilot in cockpit, do you think these 180 passengers will fly in indigo again ? Never #indigo 6E 5149 #shameless,” ALSO READ: Kapil Sharma Reveals The REAL Reason Why Kangana Ranaut Laughs Only On His Show-READ BELOW
In a subsequent update, Sharma further remarked, "Now they are de-boarding all the passengers and indicating that we'll board another aircraft, but once again, we have to return to the terminal for security checks #indigo." Kapil Sharma's dissatisfaction surfaced hours after director Vivek Agnihotri faced a similar predicament. Agnihotri earlier reported a delay of nearly two hours on his IndiGo flight, expressing frustration at the lack of information from the crew. He questioned the airline's indifferent approach towards passengers and criticized the absence of communication regarding delays despite advanced technologies available, venting, "Flights get delayed all over the world but such indifference to passengers is a unique quality that @IndiGo6E possesses."

Frequent flight delays are a common challenge for both celebrities and passengers, often testing their patience. Despite IndiGo's commitment to punctuality, there have been multiple instances in the past where the airline encountered substantial flight delays. In a separate incident back in July, a passenger publicly criticized the airline for a significant delay exceeding three hours, adding to the list of grievances faced by travelers.
