GURUGRAM-<\/strong> A passenger aboard the IndiGo Airlines (6E)<\/a> flight 6E221 from Bengaluru (BLR) <\/a>to Ranchi (IXR) accused the airline of failing to fulfill commitments regarding hotel accommodations following a diversion, leading to forced deboarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The individual asserted that promises of lodging were unfulfilled after the flight was rerouted to Kolkata (CCU)<\/a>. IndiGo responded with a statement, stating that they provided meals to all passengers and offered the option of a refund or an alternative flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IndiGo Flight Diverted to Kolkata<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Passenger Vikram Srivastava utilized platform X to recount an incident involving IndiGo’s flight 6E221 from Bengaluru to Ranchi on 19 Jan 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to his account, the flight was diverted to Kolkata and canceled, and passengers were allegedly falsely assured hotel accommodations or an alternative flight before being deboarded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ground staff reportedly denied most claims, except for a promise of fare return within a week and a rice packet. In a critical tone, Srivastava questioned the permissibility of dumping passengers at a third location under regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
