YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 2 winner Elvish Yadav publicly criticised IndiGo Airlines after facing a major delay on his Mumbai-to-Delhi flight.
The influencer expressed his frustration on social media, revealing that his flight, originally scheduled to depart at 1 PM, was delayed by more than two and a half hours.
Elvish Yadav lashes out at Indigo airlines
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Elvish wrote, “Frustrating experience with IndiGo Airlines! Flight 6E0615 was supposed to depart at 1 pm, but now it’s delayed again and departing at 3:35 pm! If you’re in a hurry, you’re out of luck! Such poor management and lack of respect for passengers’ time! #IndigoAirlines.”
His post comes amid growing passenger complaints about IndiGo’s frequent delays and communication lapses. Earlier today, a passenger on Flight 6E 6133 from Mumbai to Rajkot detailed being made to sit inside the aircraft for over three hours. Initially informed of “operational issues,” passengers later learned that the delay occurred because the pilot had not yet arrived. The flight’s departure time was repeatedly pushed from 7:00 AM to 7:55, then to 8:40, and finally to 10:30 AM, leaving many fuming over the lack of transparency.

Due to a system outage affecting the transmission of Air Traffic Control data, flight operations to and from Delhi across all airlines have been impacted. While the authorities work to restore normal operations, we sincerely request your understanding as this situation is unfortunately beyond the control of any airline.
