How is it possible that the foggy conditions were not known before boarding the passengers? Even if they came to know about it just before taking off, there should be a protocol to make sure they de-board the passengers after a certain wait time. Waiting for 6 hours inside a plane is ridiculous. Saying all that, it is still not justified to attack anyone for your frustration.
Now that's what is called holding up against your will.Solitary confinement. They should have deboarded within an hour that's why the frustration grew.Airlines have a major responsibility to communicate to its passengers any fault or canceled flight.They treat passengers like sheep.
Buddy due to the simple fact, the flight deck has various checklists to decide whether it's safe to fly or not, like minimum visibility and reports from other aircrafts who would've landed at the destination airport earlier. All this information to be passed around to ALL pilots and crews takes time and when the matter is about the weather, you are only a slave to time. Atleast the airliner didn't cancel the flight and leave the passengers to sort their shit out, they are also human beings. This flight got diverted and they landed in Mumbai too and STILL the passengers decided to make it even harder by not de-boarding and being adamant about staying IN the aircraft even after CISF and terminal staff brought buses to take them to the terminal with their dinner as well. What do you expect the pilots to do? Fly when they know the weather is terrible and risk safety? For letting the passengers off also there are various SOPs, its not just one flight's passengers the airport has to account for right? All the passengers of ALL flights flying to fog affected areas have to be accounted for and looked after, do you expect them to just open the gates and flood the terminal with thousands of angry passengers and risk further escalation in what is already a dire situation? If they found out before take-off, they have to notify tower of a rejected take-off and then the tower has to see where can they accommodate that aircraft and then clear it to taxi there and prepare the terminal. Nothing in this world happens with a snap of a finger unless you're an illusionist.
Ppl justifying the pilot and airlines are the ones who have never boarded a flight in their life. The flight was stranded for 13 hours. Salute to the passengers for their patience.
@@amritbasavaraj9146It is not whether they chose to fly or not. It is more about solitary confinement. 13 hours?? Is that justified. Clear out passengers in batches, give them buses women and children first. These airlines would get fined to bankruptcy if they operated in the US.
Our flight got delayed in Indonesia and we were travelling on budget airline but they also had decency to offer meals and apologise to passengers. How Indigo handled it sounds horrible. You can’t keep someone in an aircraft for 13 hours without food.
I suppose I could understand the passengers frustration, but nothing justifies attacking staff . Like what happens if you’re thrown off the plane and banned in addition to being stuck . Thats insane . So the argument would be change the visibility of seeing to fly the plane ✈️ if the pilots just decided wing it they crash and kill everyone is that what these passengers want ? I’d assume it’s safer to be delayed than deceased … but what do I know . I just choose to use logic instead of emotion.
You're 100% right. However, you also must understand that these passengers have been waiting for several hours. They were most likely exhausted and frustrated. People don't tend to think straight under such circumstances. Besides, this is just but one of many many more such instances. The aviation sector really need to strap in and take action to prevent inconvenience in the future.
It's not a pilots decision to delay the flight. He was only informing. There's not much a pilot can do. I know this bcoz I work in airline domain software company
If you travelled in the plane with economic seats, you would understand the discomfort. If the passengers were held in their seats for 13 hour, it's understandable for their reaction. No one should hit anyone, but someone has to come with an answer for holding such a long hours. The ideal solution would be cancelling the ticket after some hours, rather than getting the heat from the passengers.
It's a trick to reduce the cost... any such delays flight companies should provide accommodation in nearby hotels... to avoid that they made all passengers to sit inside air
They should have de boarded the plane after couple of hours. But it’s not the pilot who takes the decision. He follows whatever he is instructed. I work in airline industry. I know the situation like this. It’s frustrating we have this kind of illiterate people in this country.
India should have bigger airports in other states too, like UP needs a quality big airport. Like a major tourist site like Agra does not have a proper airport. They share it with the Airforce, a dedicated airport in Agra would reduce the number of people traveling to Delhi to catch a flight.
Agra has way too many airports within 4 hours drive. Igi , jewar and lko are international and agra and gwalior also have decent flights. Somewhere like kota deserves airport.
The issue is that airlines don’t inform well in advance about delays or cancellations. They are hesitant to update the consumers only bcoz they don’t wanna refund. Fog isn’t a new phenomenon, airlines should have planned well in advance to mitigate it. But allowing passengers to enter the airport, finish all hectic procedures and then stranded in the plane or on aero bridges, is not the way to handle this situation. Cancel, reschedule or inform in advance, but handicapping passengers and making the airport a fish market won’t help. Ppl have jobs, businesses, meetings, connecting flights, huge stakes on visas international travel etc.. physical violence isn’t the answer, but the frustration is very well understandable. Besides, there’s something called suffocation/ claustrophobia. Airlines can’t trap passengers inside the flight for hours either. Naturally they will wanna be at the Tarmac. If they are making the airport a fish market, they why not eat on the Tarmac. When airlines behave professionally and treat passengers as customers, customers abide too.
These are those typical Indians who don't understand that. That's why they choose to die by themselves in a car crash/accidents. Just look at the number of accidents in India. They need to understand here that they're not driving on roads or highways. Many lives are at stake in situation like this.
I think you did not get the whole context of what has happened. The passengers did not slap the pilot because they did not take off due to bad weather neither did the passengers ask the pilot to take off in bad weather, they asked to move them from the flight to the waiting area and/or atleast inform them what was happening, if they would fly or the flight will be cancelled. The pilots did not nothing. they did not inform the passengers at all.
01:00 I justify this action. 13 hours and still the airlines takes passengers for granted. I have faced this situation a numerous times with Air India and they just do not bother to inform the passengers. Why not tell the truth ??? If the airplane has developed a snag get or hire another one. Passenger can be penalised for extra-behaviour. But then why let the Airlines be let off ? Delays like this should give 100% refund + 25% penalty on Airlines + Apology letter.
Just one addition to your facts Palki mam, even the CAT III B can't help guide planes to land in zero visibility. The fog in Delhi was almost near zero. So even with all the CAT III Bs operational, delays would have occured.
No doubt India doesn't care about quality of life for its citizens. Totally agree with your statement that airlines could have cared more about their passengers. There are worse weather conditions around the world at major airports and sure, there are delays and cancellations, but NOT at this scale. Also, in countries where human lives matter more, they compensate for the delays or cancellations or even provide alternatives; and surely don't leave their customers to dine on the tarmac. This is a pathetic condition of India's best airport and of India in general.
This is called socialism when a person think like grief of others but some person in comments are behaving like capitalist and preaching law and rules regulations and justifying inhumane behaviour of pilot and crew
This is simply a chaos created by aviation minister and airport authority. Because of this I had almost missed my international connecting flight as the airport authority delayed the flight by 90 minutes for a non-sensible reasons at the Mumbai airport where there are no visibility or fog issues. Simply, they are not customer focused.
India is truly developed. Airports have become RTC bus stands. Passengers attack pilot /driver when delayed/suffered, the crowd and waiting time R some examples 😂
No matter the situation. No one has the right to threat anyone at their workplace. Happened in front of me about 2 weeks ago, i am ashamed that i didnt stood up against it
It was the pilot's fault apparently. He blamed the passengers for the delay. Anyone would get furious after been stranded inside a plane for more than 6 hours.
he told the passengers that they were questioning the pilot and the crew members too much due to which they lost the chance to get on the taxiway and fly.@@LP-bf9oe
My rajdhani train got delayed by 12 hours because of the fogg conditions, even the train folks had the decency to let the passengers know about the delay, plus we were provided with amenities constantly and the train was being cleaned regularly to not cause issues, the train also stopped at various locations to provide some reprieve to the passengers. Better management than indigo lmao
In case of delay passengers should be given lounge access with free meals and in case of connecting flight getting missed, free ticket should me provided by the airline. This can reduce frustation among passengers. I faced this situation yesterday in indigo from mumbai - delhi - Uzbekistan 🇺🇿
First thing First: In almost all developed countries, as per the security protocol, once gates are closed - pilots have to close their cabin doors too and remain inside (unless of course for toilet break or making some cabin inspection). They absolutely NEVER come out to make announcements. Why Indigo wants to do such a PR stunts of requiring pilots to personally make announcements from the cabin?
It’s not a stunt. The captain is the one who is in command of the plane. He needed to make sure that the cabin was safe from any of those idiots, rather than just sitting in the cockpit. One of the pilots can always intervene in the situation if the cabin crew is failing to do so.
It's not a PR stunt. IndiGO was trying to be helpful. Don't even compare with western airlines. Western airlines are now the worst, they absolutely don't care for passengers and they cannot spell SERVICE. They're definitely not a benchmark to compare to. In fact their service levels are to be studied for what NOT TO DO!!!😂😂
@@anandmohan9296 how the f is a passenger slapping someone making an announcement intentional and PR is it really hard for you guys to comprehend such differences how low can ppls iq be , if you need to start with a doubt if it's PR or not a passenger slapped someone who was making an announcement, they can't just stop making announcement or maybe send announcements on emails or messages because some intelligent species from India on internet mistakes it for heinous disgusting oh so vile PR stunts ew
Air India, IndiGo, Go First, Akasa et al are using Boeing, Airbus or embraer planes. Pilots are traine to fly on Instrument Landing System (ILS) which is a precision runway approach aid based on two radio beams which together provide pilots with both vertical and horizontal guidance during an approach to land. They don't need visual to land a plane on modern aircrafts. Also, Autopilot can land a plane. This is called autoland especially during low visibility operations. But it's not as simple as the autopilot landing the plane. Flying in fog is quite challenging, even for the most experienced of pilots. For pilots that are not as skilled, fog is an extremely dangerous and potentially deadly hazard. Each year, around 440 people are killed due to weather-related aviation accidents including the conditions of low visibilities and ceilings. Good luck India
Airlines should also think about passengers and not just fill their pockets with billions. Passengers need to understand Pilots are underpaid and overworked, they have to take care of a lot of things…especially when the weather is like that.
Myself had faced 7 hours delay with 2 small kids and cant explain the chaos we faced on 25th Dec... To add on nobody knew what was happening and no cancellation.... Not a good start of vacations and its impacted entire mood, feeling and vibes of our trip as every working professional knows how difficult it is get approval for leaves 😢😢😢😢
This is all made by the management failures. 13 hrs delay and not providing decent amenities to passengers. Theres no ear to listen to the passengers plights, the flight crews also put a blind eye. When airlines are just negligent about giving you a seat I can really feel what these passengers must have faced...🙏🙏
In follow up to this post new details emerged that the flight crew didn't help the passengers with all concerns and anxiety, and were irritated with them. Moreover the pilot was blaming the passengers for the delay in the mic and was condemning the queries for the flight delay during the incident. Indigo and the authority should also bar the entire crew from flying/service for such action and instigating passengers/customers during such uncertain times rather than only adding the passenger to no fly.
Delhi is crowded everywhere even endless security queue, International connections in different terminals and then luggage collection uts really tiring, Delhi is not a passenger friendly place
You are so very right and the staff are not experience In dealing with travelers they can't even have a decent conversations with the passenger but they are good on collecting you mon money they know nothing mostly at Delhi airport I am surprised that this airport is still running. There is no courtesies at all.
My main thought is, why were the passengers made to eat their meals sitting on the airport tarmac in winter season. The airlines could've at the least sent the passengers back the terminal.
No matter what is the reason and how urgent and dire is the situation , you just CANT hit someone. Period Pilot is a worker and he does own the airlines. The guy should not just be arrested but should be ban to fly in all airlines for the rest of this life
@@gberia1no matter what the issue is, the pilot is not someone you hit. It's the company's fault and they are mere employees. Apart from this, weather is something nobody could control, if they were to take off in such a bad weather then you'll CRASH, it'll take just 5 minutes and you won't even realise it
Why is India not taking any action on tackling the pollution in Delhi area? The punjab farmers continue to burn rice stubble, people continue to light firecrackers, bonfires and the industies and vehicles continue to pollute. Does nobody recognize an emergency situation as well as acute health problem to call for outright ban. The same situation in Beijing, California etc. led to immediate bans of pollutants and subsequent improvements.
Palkiji, even I too work in the airport at Mumbai. We understand that we are facing an IROP situation. Hoping passengers will cooperate with us for some time. Safety comes first. Every pax and crew wants to reach their destinations or fly back to their homes safely, that's what the ground team wants. All the airlines are trying their best to diffuse the situation, we are in this too
Ask airline to cancel flight after 3 hr delay. That's what DGCA recommends. Here airlines are keeping PPL inside aircraft for 5-6 hr w/o food water. That too wen they already delayed it to 7 hr before boarding. No wonder pax lost his cool. You should not beg for cooperation but follow a common decency. If that's difficult then follow DGCA recommendation I had a experience with indigo at Bangalore 6 year ago. Due to fog we were inside aircraft for 2 hr. Although pilot was highly polite and communicative on development. But we did not get even water during that period. After that experience, I had stopped taking flight and even vacation during December and January. Na bajega baans na bajegi bansuri.
I don't condone the behaviour of that passenger but I can definitely understand why he hit the pilot. Asking passengers to sit in an enclosed space for 13 hours without any news of progress is not good. People are bound to panic and get stressed. They could have de-boarded the passengers and cancelled the flight. At least allow those passengers to de-board who don't want to get on the flight.
Only in India they let the attacker go, any other country, he would been arrested, and his baggage off loaded. Luckily Indigo pilots did not go on a lightning strike
It was very well justified. airplanes are made for short duration sittings they are uncomfortable and people take them only for necessities. they can't hold passengers hostage.
Good to see the balanced approach of this channel compared to other channels. That said, I'd hoped for better investigating reporting from this channel at least. @Palki Sharma : Please see the video by "Russian Indian actress" to know more about what the copilot did and why the passenger did what he did. Not defending the physical action but neither do I defend the copilots actions.
It is a shame that in India, planes still cannot fly in fog. I have seen planes fly in zero visibily in Norway during blizzard. It is a shame that our airports are still outdated.
There were news all around about delays and mismanagement so focussed on yr effect but your channel explained the cause which is such a simple thing yet no other channel bothered to focus on it. Thanks for presenting news in simple and clean fashion as it should be.
The best ariport of the country does not have a CAT 3B systems on all its runways? Unfortunately Indigo is deteriorating day by day too. Their Pratt n Whitney engines are causing a lot of issues as well puttjng many of theirplanes out of service.
@@kazuma2060 Unfortunately this cheam ticket is getting too expensive for passengers due to a lot of issues offlate. I never mind their service quality till their flights were mostly on time but the recent delays and issues in their planes is making me reconsider. Another issue is Vistara doesn't fly from IGI T2 else they are relati Ely better
This is why we need high speed rail connecting our major cities. HSR doesn't get affected by fog. Because traffic management of rails is easier. And with automation we don't need to have rail pilots at all. HSR is a necessary alternative. Specially for smaller distances. If we can go from munbai to Delhi in under 5 hrs ofc people will not mind railways. HSR can and will help decongestion of the increasing aviation traffic.
True evidence of people becoming impatient and insane behavior. Better to be safe than sorry! The scenario is beyond anyone’s control. Airlines could have compensated to passengers in some manner- off the plane, and food, discount etc. to keep the scenario calm.
Not a big deal. It's a 24*7 days issue. Including all the time. All weather.Got response atleast a revolution from a passanger. I don't know when this kind of revolution would appear in Indian railways.😏
There should be delayed lounge at every airport, approved by DGCA, any delay more than 1 hour, that passengers should given rest at lounge with free food. Atleast it will be win win if zero visibility is always the issue
Please stop having such big sympathy for airlines and our airport authority. Passengers become irate due to their mismanagement and incompetence. Whenever there is a delay and people who have boarded the flight, the first thing airlines do, is to cut off the air conditioning to save costs, this leads to passengers feeling couped up, hot and agitated eventually. Plus no food and beverages are served during this period ( Even if the flight is 4-5 hrs late ). The cherry on the cake is that these flights most of the time do not allow lavatory access for passenger in this waiting period but pilots and airhostess can use it willy nilly at pleasure. There is no mechanism created to deboard the passengers in case of a flight delay of more than 1 hr. There are no strict laws to prevent any of these issues which are easily preventable.
Suspend booking if there is fog related problems. Do campus recruitments & train the candidates rigorously as pilots with surety bond with years of service to the airline. Shortage of pilots in a country of 150+ crore population? It's a shame to aviation industry & the country.
Why don't they have ILS for all runways? It's a basic safety feature for landing assist at all airports and IGI is the most important airport in India.
After all it’s India what else can you expect from the 3rd world country. This country government doesn’t even have a courtesy to provide shelter when flights are delayed for more than 15 hours and left passengers stranded on roads. Wow what a country 😂😂
Another big issue of indigo.. pilots refusing to fly the aircraft because he is already flown 2 previous flights for 16 hours+.. indigo is forcing their pilots to run overtime!! Which is ridiculous..
India need work on their Customer Relations badly if they want to progress in airlines industry, gotlight cancel from mumbai to vadodara, airlines didn't take any action, no refund no alternative flight just told you are on your own, figure out, in every other country they offer hotel, alternative flight or at-least money back
Please don’t blame the weather/ fog alone. Incompetence of DGCA and the Aviation Ministry at display. Fog in winters is common phenomenon and doesn’t require brains to appreciate the impact on the flights. Sad story to put hundreds of passengers to such discomfort
Leave who is wrong and who is right...if you see 100s flights are getting delayed but only this flight gets attention due to this incident and then DGA came up with guidelines to improve clarity. Authority does not listen in good words it seems.
Why not have 10 runways,all equipped for low visibility conditions🤔🤔 Don't give DA to government employees for 1 yr, what difference it make for those incompetent guys,but nation will benefit immensely
Good presentation and information just to aware of the current airport’s situation. Both passengers and aviation authorities should cooperate. Thanks Mam🎉
It would have been better if people in India travelled via roads on bullock carts...they would have reached their destinations quicker than flying 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ....Dense fog is not just the reason...pollution in Delhi has made it far more worse....its the result of how people in Delhi are treating nature and how close they are to it.....matter of concern...
Having lived in Sydney for almost 2 decades, we know the worst time to travel for Sydney weather is May / June due to fog. Flights get delayed very often, but people have to accept it. Once we were in flight for 3 hours from Singapore to Sydney - all passengers boarded the flight but it did not take off due to some checks which they had to do. It’s very stupid to start hitting the staff, if this would had happened in Australia / USA - they would just call the cops and throw the passenger out of the flight and file charges against him. Very sad to see such behaviour. It’s understandable that the passengers are frustrated but the circumstances are beyond anyone’s control.
I am not saying what he did is right, but 3hrs is very different from 13hrs and when that too when they were not informed about the reason for the delay. I heard the copilot was apparently blaming the passengers for the delay(don't know how true that is though)
Delhi Airport is one of the best in the world...😂😂😂😂😂 really?? Thats why they haven't planned for the seasonal occurrence? Lets work with only one runway, also Air port and Airlines are like lets screw the passengers...we don't take any accountability.
Indians should learn from Japan. A few days ago , a fire occurred on one of the flights and how patiently they cooperated with crew members.. Please show some respect..
Palpi you need to cover connecting flight passengers and their helpless situation. With rising flight cost escalating if the connecting flight is missed shouldn’t the other airline be sensitive and give the refund. Just this loss will be in millions that the airline is earning from our hard earned money,,,are there any ethics that command such procedures??
Its sad to say but i am with the passenger on this one. Holding for so long against there will is not right. 1-2 hour delay is fine. But keeping them inside a confined space for soo long that to against there will is not right.
It isn't 'fog" it's smog and until air pollution isn't taking seriously this will continue to happen and/or get worse specially in the northern parts of India.
India need to learn more from China experience to solve the air pollution.only win win relationships with China can prosperity India in good term on trade, economic even culture exchange..put borders disputed aside and the narrow mindset , otherwise arising india no way to reach the global stage as superpower.
New Delhi needs to invest more in internal and regional transportation such as long-distance high-speed train connections. Japan can help out on this. It is a political choice to not invest in transportation, which would not only help integrate the federal states into the economy but integrates all citzens fully. Over-reliability on planes will lead to these problems, USA and EU have the same problems. Don't follow their paths, invest more in high- speed train connections, also for the rail freight transport and for the army it's benecial as well.
Trains are also running late. There is literally no visibility. You can't see bicycle 🚲 coming 😅 , these western disturbances has literally made a shimla without snow in delhi.
Perhaps it's the way usage of these 'western disturbances' that leads to bad air quality. Not per se these 'western disturbances'....Trains run on electricity and will not lead to smog in big cities. All these cars and motors do. I think these 'western disturbances' might as well be the only solution suitable to bring change in a city of 18 Millions people. Or Is there a Southern or Eastern solution I'm not aware of, please enlighten me. @@thomasastha9007
The core problem is the kerosine usage for airplanes and other fossile fuel usage for cars and motors. I can't see why and how bringing another Int' hub for air transport would reduce the usage of FF and thus smog. Such a Int' hub needs to be connected to cities. Time is money and it is only in the interest of businesses to settle near those hubs creating the same problem as before. It would reduce the stress of cities so I get how you think. However, the core problem of smog will not be tackled in cities. Metros, busses, trams, bikes and walking need to get more space and primacy over car usage. More green and less trash on the streets. How your environment is, so will your mind be. It's in the interest of the city itself to make sure it's citizens are living healthy and safe so the next pilot will not get beating up by its own problem.... @@alexi2460
This is know issue fog at Delhi airport. But our beloved NAMO has redirected all international flights to Delhi from 2020 pandemic. We had direct flights from USA to different locations(HYD, BGL, Mumbai, Delhi), but in pandemic all routed to Mumbai and Delhi, which caused over crowded in Delhi. Till now this issue is not addressed. I request NAMO to treat all states/cities are equal and direct flights to Hyd, BGL, Chennai, Kolkata etc.
Recently indian airforce landed its biggest transport aircraft in Kargil under heavy snowfall and in dark midnight. The runway is very small due to mountains and no lights visible on runway snd that too without any support from ATC Kargil. Temperature was in minus 6 and it was complete dark at midnight. When airforce can land in heavy snowfall in midnight without any ground support why indigo failed to provide similar training to its pilots when fog comes every year in delhi. No place for violence but also no point to lock passengers in plane for 13 hours without food. Indigo is total failure when also they sold seats on web checkin on high price. Also failure of DGCA for allowing airlines to treat passengers as cattle class. Multiple failures without taking responsibility.
Hahah, no fog, nothing, flight got delayed by 11 hours from Mumbai to Thrissur, last month, Took 4 flights , with average of 3 hours delay... no fog nothing.. This time atleast it's fog..India is 100 years behind in time comparednto china..
The airlines MUST follow and observe honestly the IATA & DGCA rules and guidelines. Excluding natural calamity in matters of DELAY the victim passangers be compensated instantly.
That's the reason why Ex Indian Airforce or Indian Navy Flying officer's are favourite choice for commercial airlines companies... These pilot's are trained on jets which are required to takeoff and land on difficult airstrips in precarious & perilous conditions with or without ILS support.👍
Even in December last week our flight from Bhubaneswar was delayed by 3-4 hours as the one from delhi hadn’t arrived. Have another one in few days, hope we get prior information about delays and are not left stranded in the airport

Besides, there’s something called suffocation/ claustrophobia. Airlines can’t trap passengers inside the flight for hours either. Naturally they will wanna be at the Tarmac. If they are making the airport a fish market, they why not eat on the Tarmac. When airlines behave professionally and treat passengers as customers, customers abide too.
Rather be safe and on the ground than rush take off in unfavorable, foggy conditions and risk crashing!
These are those typical Indians who don't understand that. That's why they choose to die by themselves in a car crash/accidents. Just look at the number of accidents in India. They need to understand here that they're not driving on roads or highways. Many lives are at stake in situation like this.
I think you did not get the whole context of what has happened. The passengers did not slap the pilot because they did not take off due to bad weather neither did the passengers ask the pilot to take off in bad weather, they asked to move them from the flight to the waiting area and/or atleast inform them what was happening, if they would fly or the flight will be cancelled. The pilots did not nothing. they did not inform the passengers at all.
Exactly. People don't understand this basic point. @@rambaan2615
01:00 I justify this action. 13 hours and still the airlines takes passengers for granted. I have faced this situation a numerous times with Air India and they just do not bother to inform the passengers. Why not tell the truth ??? If the airplane has developed a snag get or hire another one. Passenger can be penalised for extra-behaviour. But then why let the Airlines be let off ? Delays like this should give 100% refund + 25% penalty on Airlines + Apology letter.
True , idiots and andhbhakts bash the passengers but I support him
Just one addition to your facts Palki mam, even the CAT III B can't help guide planes to land in zero visibility. The fog in Delhi was almost near zero. So even with all the CAT III Bs operational, delays would have occured.
Plus there is no system available today to taxi the aircraft to gates, once it has landed in zero visibility!
zero fog = no fog ?
Yes - take offs are less critical, but landing without visibility is too risky.
This lady doesn't understand that. She has poor research habits due to urgency.
@@idealpendulumyeah this one
No doubt India doesn't care about quality of life for its citizens. Totally agree with your statement that airlines could have cared more about their passengers. There are worse weather conditions around the world at major airports and sure, there are delays and cancellations, but NOT at this scale. Also, in countries where human lives matter more, they compensate for the delays or cancellations or even provide alternatives; and surely don't leave their customers to dine on the tarmac. This is a pathetic condition of India's best airport and of India in general.
1:37 indians 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂, 🤦♂️👎🙄
Closing the door and waiting for 11 hours without food is insane
13 hours without food and without any updates
This is called socialism when a person think like grief of others but some person in comments are behaving like capitalist and preaching law and rules regulations and justifying inhumane behaviour of pilot and crew
This is simply a chaos created by aviation minister and airport authority. Because of this I had almost missed my international connecting flight as the airport authority delayed the flight by 90 minutes for a non-sensible reasons at the Mumbai airport where there are no visibility or fog issues. Simply, they are not customer focused.
Lol what? The aviation Minister created a fog? What you are saying is absolutely silly.
Aviation Minister a government official is not responsible for you customer service from a private company
Also your Mumbai flight comes from some other place which might have fog. The plane isn't sitting at Mumbai waiting for you.
Useless bureaucrats
India is truly developed. Airports have become RTC bus stands. Passengers attack pilot /driver when delayed/suffered, the crowd and waiting time R some examples 😂

No matter the situation. No one has the right to threat anyone at their workplace. Happened in front of me about 2 weeks ago, i am ashamed that i didnt stood up against it
It was the pilot's fault apparently. He blamed the passengers for the delay. Anyone would get furious after been stranded inside a plane for more than 6 hours.
@@Justshorts-j2c how did he manage to blame the passengers? I mean what reason did he give?
he told the passengers that they were questioning the pilot and the crew members too much due to which they lost the chance to get on the taxiway and fly.@@LP-bf9oe
That person should be banned from travelling on any airlines in India, pilots don't make the decision to take off, the air traffic controller does.
My rajdhani train got delayed by 12 hours because of the fogg conditions, even the train folks had the decency to let the passengers know about the delay, plus we were provided with amenities constantly and the train was being cleaned regularly to not cause issues, the train also stopped at various locations to provide some reprieve to the passengers. Better management than indigo lmao
Dinner on tarmac? Am shocked that authorities allow passengers to roam on it’s tarmacs, it is so dangerous. Only in India!
In case of delay passengers should be given lounge access with free meals and in case of connecting flight getting missed, free ticket should me provided by the airline. This can reduce frustation among passengers. I faced this situation yesterday in indigo from mumbai - delhi - Uzbekistan 🇺🇿
First thing First: In almost all developed countries, as per the security protocol, once gates are closed - pilots have to close their cabin doors too and remain inside (unless of course for toilet break or making some cabin inspection). They absolutely NEVER come out to make announcements. Why Indigo wants to do such a PR stunts of requiring pilots to personally make announcements from the cabin?
It’s not a stunt. The captain is the one who is in command of the plane. He needed to make sure that the cabin was safe from any of those idiots, rather than just sitting in the cockpit. One of the pilots can always intervene in the situation if the cabin crew is failing to do so.
It's not a PR stunt. IndiGO was trying to be helpful. Don't even compare with western airlines. Western airlines are now the worst, they absolutely don't care for passengers and they cannot spell SERVICE. They're definitely not a benchmark to compare to. In fact their service levels are to be studied for what NOT TO DO!!!😂😂
"PR stunts" 🤡
@@kashyap_0-0_True. Lately indigo is doing lot of PR stunts. Though this may not be a PR stunt
@@anandmohan9296 how the f is a passenger slapping someone making an announcement intentional and PR is it really hard for you guys to comprehend such differences how low can ppls iq be , if you need to start with a doubt if it's PR or not a passenger slapped someone who was making an announcement, they can't just stop making announcement or maybe send announcements on emails or messages because some intelligent species from India on internet mistakes it for heinous disgusting oh so vile PR stunts ew
Air India, IndiGo, Go First, Akasa et al are using Boeing, Airbus or embraer planes. Pilots are traine to fly on Instrument Landing System (ILS) which is a precision runway approach aid based on two radio beams which together provide pilots with both vertical and horizontal guidance during an approach to land.
They don't need visual to land a plane on modern aircrafts.
Also, Autopilot can land a plane. This is called autoland especially during low visibility operations. But it's not as simple as the autopilot landing the plane.
Flying in fog is quite challenging, even for the most experienced of pilots. For pilots that are not as skilled, fog is an extremely dangerous and potentially deadly hazard. Each year, around 440 people are killed due to weather-related aviation accidents including the conditions of low visibilities and ceilings.
Good luck India
Airlines should also think about passengers and not just fill their pockets with billions.
Passengers need to understand Pilots are underpaid and overworked, they have to take care of a lot of things…especially when the weather is like that.
Indian aviation is JUST PATHETIC L...have you seen the condition of indigo planes???🤮🤮🤮 People are even WORST!!!
Myself had faced 7 hours delay with 2 small kids and cant explain the chaos we faced on 25th Dec... To add on nobody knew what was happening and no cancellation.... Not a good start of vacations and its impacted entire mood, feeling and vibes of our trip as every working professional knows how difficult it is get approval for leaves 😢😢😢😢
This is all made by the management failures. 13 hrs delay and not providing decent amenities to passengers. Theres no ear to listen to the passengers plights, the flight crews also put a blind eye. When airlines are just negligent about giving you a seat I can really feel what these passengers must have faced...🙏🙏
True
In follow up to this post new details emerged that the flight crew didn't help the passengers with all concerns and anxiety, and were irritated with them. Moreover the pilot was blaming the passengers for the delay in the mic and was condemning the queries for the flight delay during the incident. Indigo and the authority should also bar the entire crew from flying/service for such action and instigating passengers/customers during such uncertain times rather than only adding the passenger to no fly.
1:37 indians 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂, 🤦♂️👎🙄
India has to take a step to reduce air pollution.
Its winter FOG. Happens every year
Delhi is crowded everywhere even endless security queue, International connections in different terminals and then luggage collection uts really tiring, Delhi is not a passenger friendly place
Totally agree. Last year, I was almost going to miss my international flight due to long queues everywhere. Though I reached 3 hours before.
You are so very right and the staff are not experience In dealing with travelers they can't even have a decent conversations with the passenger but they are good on collecting you mon money they know nothing mostly at Delhi airport I am surprised that this airport is still running. There is no courtesies at all.
True and extremely disrespectful+egotic+lunatic people
Honestly if the flight is delayed that long… they shouldn’t be boarded at all….its chaos if you have full plane of people going nowhere 😢
My main thought is, why were the passengers made to eat their meals sitting on the airport tarmac in winter season. The airlines could've at the least sent the passengers back the terminal.
No matter what is the reason and how urgent and dire is the situation , you just CANT hit someone. Period
Pilot is a worker and he does own the airlines. The guy should not just be arrested but should be ban to fly in all airlines for the rest of this life
Say this to police
😂
People who say period in their sentences, I have noticed, have no clue about reality.
@@gberia1no matter what the issue is, the pilot is not someone you hit. It's the company's fault and they are mere employees. Apart from this, weather is something nobody could control, if they were to take off in such a bad weather then you'll CRASH, it'll take just 5 minutes and you won't even realise it
Why is India not taking any action on tackling the pollution in Delhi area? The punjab farmers continue to burn rice stubble, people continue to light firecrackers, bonfires and the industies and vehicles continue to pollute. Does nobody recognize an emergency situation as well as acute health problem to call for outright ban. The same situation in Beijing, California etc. led to immediate bans of pollutants and subsequent improvements.
Palkiji, even I too work in the airport at Mumbai. We understand that we are facing an IROP situation. Hoping passengers will cooperate with us for some time. Safety comes first. Every pax and crew wants to reach their destinations or fly back to their homes safely, that's what the ground team wants. All the airlines are trying their best to diffuse the situation, we are in this too
Ask airline to cancel flight after 3 hr delay. That's what DGCA recommends.
Here airlines are keeping PPL inside aircraft for 5-6 hr w/o food water. That too wen they already delayed it to 7 hr before boarding.
No wonder pax lost his cool. You should not beg for cooperation but follow a common decency. If that's difficult then follow DGCA recommendation
I had a experience with indigo at Bangalore 6 year ago. Due to fog we were inside aircraft for 2 hr. Although pilot was highly polite and communicative on development. But we did not get even water during that period. After that experience, I had stopped taking flight and even vacation during December and January.
Na bajega baans na bajegi bansuri.
I don't condone the behaviour of that passenger but I can definitely understand why he hit the pilot. Asking passengers to sit in an enclosed space for 13 hours without any news of progress is not good. People are bound to panic and get stressed. They could have de-boarded the passengers and cancelled the flight. At least allow those passengers to de-board who don't want to get on the flight.
Only in India they let the attacker go, any other country, he would been arrested, and his baggage off loaded. Luckily Indigo pilots did not go on a lightning strike
Wtf? That's still not good to hit the pilot, he's a mere employee
13 hour delay is no joke ۔۔ Airlines should provide accommodation. Anyone can lose senses under stress
Incident is not accepted. Palki Sharma has a great personality. Stay blessed.
What an analogy to communicate science in an interesting yet simplified way such that anyone can relate! A big fan, Ms. Palki. Keep rocking! 💪👩
It was very well justified.
airplanes are made for short duration sittings they are uncomfortable and people take them only for necessities.
they can't hold passengers hostage.
Good to see the balanced approach of this channel compared to other channels.
That said, I'd hoped for better investigating reporting from this channel at least.
@Palki Sharma : Please see the video by "Russian Indian actress" to know more about what the copilot did and why the passenger did what he did. Not defending the physical action but neither do I defend the copilots actions.
What a voice re, crystal clear like acid washed words 👌 👏 💯
It is a shame that in India, planes still cannot fly in fog. I have seen planes fly in zero visibily in Norway during blizzard.
It is a shame that our airports are still outdated.
Nothing to with India. No airplane can fly with visibility less than 125 meters during departure. They can land in zero visibility.
I did air traffic control in the Marine Corps. In those most basic of fixed wing aircraft can fly IFR. What sort of planes are they using?
What is modern in India.Nothing.
India is twenty years behind rest of the 🌎. All they do is cheap publicity and drama on news channels. The reality on ground is something else
Fog has zero visibility, blizzards can be travelled through, as long as runways are cleared of snow.
One thing I am realising that indigo staff is becoming less and less courteous nowadays as compared to few years back.
Great report. Very true lots of work needs to be done.
There were news all around about delays and mismanagement so focussed on yr effect but your channel explained the cause which is such a simple thing yet no other channel bothered to focus on it.
Thanks for presenting news in simple and clean fashion as it should be.
The best ariport of the country does not have a CAT 3B systems on all its runways? Unfortunately Indigo is deteriorating day by day too. Their Pratt n Whitney engines are causing a lot of issues as well puttjng many of theirplanes out of service.
Well they provide tickets at cheaper rates so they have to cut expenses somewhere.
@@kazuma2060 Unfortunately this cheam ticket is getting too expensive for passengers due to a lot of issues offlate. I never mind their service quality till their flights were mostly on time but the recent delays and issues in their planes is making me reconsider. Another issue is Vistara doesn't fly from IGI T2 else they are relati Ely better
Whatever she said here is straight to the point and I strongly agree that they need to do better with all these protocols.
This is why we need high speed rail connecting our major cities. HSR doesn't get affected by fog. Because traffic management of rails is easier. And with automation we don't need to have rail pilots at all. HSR is a necessary alternative. Specially for smaller distances. If we can go from munbai to Delhi in under 5 hrs ofc people will not mind railways. HSR can and will help decongestion of the increasing aviation traffic.
Passenger Indigo Captain Pilot Koo Thappar mara... WoaW... Yeah Kawah... Oh! God... Hari Ram... Krishnnah... Jai Shri Ram... Yeah Kawah...
True evidence of people becoming impatient and insane behavior.
Better to be safe than sorry!
The scenario is beyond anyone’s control.
Airlines could have compensated to passengers in some manner- off the plane, and food, discount etc. to keep the scenario calm.
It happens every year, but do Delhi people reduce/cancel holiday plans during winter? Reduction of unnecessary travel will solve many problems
Not a big deal. It's a 24*7 days issue. Including all the time. All weather.Got response atleast a revolution from a passanger. I don't know when this kind of revolution would appear in Indian railways.😏
It seems that many of the stakeholders didn't have SOP in dealing with such a situation
This is the condition of Infian airports.How can they promote tourism in Lakshadweep
Good luck. Vary very gread work...My Congratulations
There should be delayed lounge at every airport, approved by DGCA, any delay more than 1 hour, that passengers should given rest at lounge with free food. Atleast it will be win win if zero visibility is always the issue
Very very happy me ❤❤❤Good luck. Very very thanks. My Congreatulions to you sir and medam ❤❤❤
This must have been predicted upfront and cancelled flights instead of boarding passengers and then realising the fog and can't fly...
Please stop having such big sympathy for airlines and our airport authority. Passengers become irate due to their mismanagement and incompetence. Whenever there is a delay and people who have boarded the flight, the first thing airlines do, is to cut off the air conditioning to save costs, this leads to passengers feeling couped up, hot and agitated eventually. Plus no food and beverages are served during this period ( Even if the flight is 4-5 hrs late ). The cherry on the cake is that these flights most of the time do not allow lavatory access for passenger in this waiting period but pilots and airhostess can use it willy nilly at pleasure. There is no mechanism created to deboard the passengers in case of a flight delay of more than 1 hr. There are no strict laws to prevent any of these issues which are easily preventable.
Suspend booking if there is fog related problems. Do campus recruitments & train the candidates rigorously as pilots with surety bond with years of service to the airline. Shortage of pilots in a country of 150+ crore population? It's a shame to aviation industry & the country.
Why don't they have ILS for all runways? It's a basic safety feature for landing assist at all airports and IGI is the most important airport in India.
Its common all over europe and US and the citizens there take in their stride and their civility is what Indians should learn
😅
After all it’s India what else can you expect from the 3rd world country. This country government doesn’t even have a courtesy to provide shelter when flights are delayed for more than 15 hours and left passengers stranded on roads. Wow what a country 😂😂
Excellent reporting & balanced
Another big issue of indigo.. pilots refusing to fly the aircraft because he is already flown 2 previous flights for 16 hours+.. indigo is forcing their pilots to run overtime!! Which is ridiculous..
India need work on their Customer Relations badly if they want to progress in airlines industry, gotlight cancel from mumbai to vadodara, airlines didn't take any action, no refund no alternative flight just told you are on your own, figure out, in every other country they offer hotel, alternative flight or at-least money back
Fog or smog ! Even in hilly regions fog doesn’t last for 13 hours straight !
Apparently happens every year around this time 🧐
Please don’t blame the weather/ fog alone. Incompetence of DGCA and the Aviation Ministry at display. Fog in winters is common phenomenon and doesn’t require brains to appreciate the impact on the flights. Sad story to put hundreds of passengers to such discomfort
If a planned maintenance is scheduled during the peak fog season.. it’s total incompetence on side of Delhi airport.
Leave who is wrong and who is right...if you see 100s flights are getting delayed but only this flight gets attention due to this incident and then DGA came up with guidelines to improve clarity. Authority does not listen in good words it seems.
if India wants to get serious in global trade then ILS is a must for all runways in all major airports
Completely breathtaking, ♥.
Positively remarkable, ♥.
Why not have 10 runways,all equipped for low visibility conditions🤔🤔 Don't give DA to government employees for 1 yr, what difference it make for those incompetent guys,but nation will benefit immensely
Nobody's talking about trains which are getting delayed by 25+ hrs
Good presentation and information just to aware of the current airport’s situation. Both passengers and aviation authorities should cooperate.
Thanks Mam🎉
Unquestionably astonishing, ♥.
It would have been better if people in India travelled via roads on bullock carts...they would have reached their destinations quicker than flying 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ....Dense fog is not just the reason...pollution in Delhi has made it far more worse....its the result of how people in Delhi are treating nature and how close they are to it.....matter of concern...
Having lived in Sydney for almost 2 decades, we know the worst time to travel for Sydney weather is May / June due to fog. Flights get delayed very often, but people have to accept it. Once we were in flight for 3 hours from Singapore to Sydney - all passengers boarded the flight but it did not take off due to some checks which they had to do. It’s very stupid to start hitting the staff, if this would had happened in Australia / USA - they would just call the cops and throw the passenger out of the flight and file charges against him. Very sad to see such behaviour. It’s understandable that the passengers are frustrated but the circumstances are beyond anyone’s control.
I am not saying what he did is right, but 3hrs is very different from 13hrs and when that too when they were not informed about the reason for the delay. I heard the copilot was apparently blaming the passengers for the delay(don't know how true that is though)
On top of that they were not provided any food.
Consider having to catch a connecting flight and/or having little kids with you
Delhi Airport is one of the best in the world...😂😂😂😂😂 really?? Thats why they haven't planned for the seasonal occurrence? Lets work with only one runway, also Air port and Airlines are like lets screw the passengers...we don't take any accountability.
Woooww what a technical explanation great 👏👏👏. I saved this clip.
Avoiding crash is the main preference I feel more than anything else 🤔.
Thank you for covering this, passenger across Airlines and Railways are taken as a joke. Our ministry is always caught with their pants down
Indians should learn from Japan. A few days ago , a fire occurred on one of the flights and how patiently they cooperated with crew members.. Please show some respect..
Palpi you need to cover connecting flight passengers and their helpless situation. With rising flight cost escalating if the connecting flight is missed shouldn’t the other airline be sensitive and give the refund. Just this loss will be in millions that the airline is earning from our hard earned money,,,are there any ethics that command such procedures??
Very nicely explained
Its sad to say but i am with the passenger on this one. Holding for so long against there will is not right. 1-2 hour delay is fine. But keeping them inside a confined space for soo long that to against there will is not right.
Absolutely sensational, ♥.
Palkiji 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 wow
It isn't 'fog" it's smog and until air pollution isn't taking seriously this will continue to happen and/or get worse specially in the northern parts of India.
India need to learn more from China experience to solve the air pollution.only win win relationships with China can prosperity India in good term on trade, economic even culture exchange..put borders disputed aside and the narrow mindset , otherwise arising india no way to reach the global stage as superpower.
Truly wondrous, ♥.
New Delhi needs to invest more in internal and regional transportation such as long-distance high-speed train connections. Japan can help out on this. It is a political choice to not invest in transportation, which would not only help integrate the federal states into the economy but integrates all citzens fully. Over-reliability on planes will lead to these problems, USA and EU have the same problems. Don't follow their paths, invest more in high- speed train connections, also for the rail freight transport and for the army it's benecial as well.
Trains are also running late. There is literally no visibility. You can't see bicycle 🚲 coming 😅 , these western disturbances has literally made a shimla without snow in delhi.
Perhaps it's the way usage of these 'western disturbances' that leads to bad air quality. Not per se these 'western disturbances'....Trains run on electricity and will not lead to smog in big cities. All these cars and motors do. I think these 'western disturbances' might as well be the only solution suitable to bring change in a city of 18 Millions people. Or Is there a Southern or Eastern solution I'm not aware of, please enlighten me. @@thomasastha9007
Would one think that constructing another major international hub airport to a state with less weather/ pollution voiliity should be considered
The core problem is the kerosine usage for airplanes and other fossile fuel usage for cars and motors. I can't see why and how bringing another Int' hub for air transport would reduce the usage of FF and thus smog. Such a Int' hub needs to be connected to cities. Time is money and it is only in the interest of businesses to settle near those hubs creating the same problem as before. It would reduce the stress of cities so I get how you think. However, the core problem of smog will not be tackled in cities. Metros, busses, trams, bikes and walking need to get more space and primacy over car usage. More green and less trash on the streets. How your environment is, so will your mind be. It's in the interest of the city itself to make sure it's citizens are living healthy and safe so the next pilot will not get beating up by its own problem.... @@alexi2460
Why beg Japan? What about the much celebrated Vande Bharat ?
This is know issue fog at Delhi airport. But our beloved NAMO has redirected all international flights to Delhi from 2020 pandemic.
We had direct flights from USA to different locations(HYD, BGL, Mumbai, Delhi), but in pandemic all routed to Mumbai and Delhi, which caused over crowded in Delhi. Till now this issue is not addressed.
I request NAMO to treat all states/cities are equal and direct flights to Hyd, BGL, Chennai, Kolkata etc.
Recently indian airforce landed its biggest transport aircraft in Kargil under heavy snowfall and in dark midnight. The runway is very small due to mountains and no lights visible on runway snd that too without any support from ATC Kargil.
Temperature was in minus 6 and it was complete dark at midnight. When airforce can land in heavy snowfall in midnight without any ground support why indigo failed to provide similar training to its pilots when fog comes every year in delhi.
No place for violence but also no point to lock passengers in plane for 13 hours without food.
Indigo is total failure when also they sold seats on web checkin on high price. Also failure of DGCA for allowing airlines to treat passengers as cattle class. Multiple failures without taking responsibility.
Better safe than sorry. It is SMOG NOT FOG ,CAUSED BY POLLUTION OF SMOKE AND FOG .
Safety is more important.
its simple. Arrange accommodation.
Incredibly astounding, ♥.
Hahah, no fog, nothing, flight got delayed by 11 hours from Mumbai to Thrissur, last month,
Took 4 flights , with average of 3 hours delay... no fog nothing..
This time atleast it's fog..India is 100 years behind in time comparednto china..
Positively phenomenal, ♥.
The airlines MUST follow and observe honestly the IATA & DGCA rules and guidelines. Excluding natural calamity in matters of DELAY the victim passangers be compensated instantly.
Here in Chhattisgarh we are still waiting for the winter to come...
That's the reason why Ex Indian Airforce or Indian Navy Flying officer's are favourite choice for commercial airlines companies... These pilot's are trained on jets which are required to takeoff and land on difficult airstrips in precarious & perilous conditions with or without ILS support.👍
4800 pilots are trained.
Actually Spicejet needs this slap
Even in December last week our flight from Bhubaneswar was delayed by 3-4 hours as the one from delhi hadn’t arrived. Have another one in few days, hope we get prior information about delays and are not left stranded in the airport
It’s ok india, safety first
