IndiGo Airlines System Slowdown
IndiGo Airlines faces network-wide system slowdown, impacting its website and booking system. The airline announced the issue through a travel advisory on X (formerly known as Twitter), warning customers of potential disruptions.
The technical glitch affects various aspects of IndiGo’s operations, leading to increased wait times for passengers. Customers may experience slower check-in processes and encounter longer queues at airports across the network.
IndiGo reassures passengers that airport staff remain available and fully committed to assisting travelers. The airline emphasizes its dedication to ensuring smooth journeys despite the ongoing technical challenges.
The company’s IT team works to resolve the system slowdown and restore normal operations. IndiGo has not provided a specific timeframe for when the issues will be completely resolved.
This system failure comes at a critical time for air travel, potentially affecting thousands of passengers across IndiGo’s extensive route network. As India’s largest airline by market share, any disruption to IndiGo’s services can have widespread implications for domestic and international travel.
Passengers with upcoming IndiGo flights should prepare for possible delays and allow extra time for airport procedures. The airline advises customers to stay informed through official communication channels for real-time updates on the situation.
