Stranded at Istanbul airport again, with delay in Indigo operated Turkish airlines flight to Mumbai. Layover >12 Hrs. Neither Indigo, not Turkish airline, nor airport authorities are ready to help. Just sending from one deak to other @TK_HelpDesk @IndiGo6E @TurkishAirlines @DGCI

And the craziness continues afresh today again...
I wonder how the staff does not feel ashamed to do this day after day... Month after month...

@IndiaInTurkiye @IndiaToday @mohol_murlidhar @RamMNK Our flight 6E12 from Istanbul to Delhi, operated by @IndiGo6E, has left nearly 600 passengers stranded at the airport. The scheduled departure was at 20:15, but we’ve now been informed it’s delayed until 13:50 the following afternoon due to “unforeseen reasons.”

@KanthetiNagaraj @Madhumi86347969 @DrSJaishankar @JM_Scindia @DGCAIndia @MoCA_GoI @RamMNK @TurkishAirlines @igairport My mother (70+) along with 2 other senior citizens spent 32 hours on Istanbul airport last year due to same Indigo mismanagement.
Nothing was done then, and nothing will be done now...

[Amod Bobade @AmodBobade]

@TK_HelpDesk @IndiGo6E @TurkishAirlines @DGCI Latest update: Finally landed in Mumbai with 8+ hours delay. Not sure if to curse @IndiGo6E for their regular mismanagement, or to praise the inflight turkish staff to cramp and manage crowd of 2 flights into one.
For sure I will be avoiding flying this segment with Indigo again.

Absolutely shameless. Today’s flight is also delayed by 7 hours. I reckon it will be much more than that. They are saying 7 cos they don’t want to provide accommodation. Even Turkish ground staff is annoyed with Indigo for doing this repeatedly

[Amod Bobade @AmodBobade]

@TurkishAirlines @MEAIndia @DGCAIndia @IndiGo6E @anandmahindra, Indigo is so much concerned with use of 6E in another car name, but continuously fail to take care of their own customers flying with 6E flights....

[Amod Bobade @AmodBobade]

Not sure why DGCA is turning blind eye on the pathetic operating of Indigo flights abroad. It does damage name of Turkish airlines, but also spoils image of India in front of international community. @TurkishAirlines @MEAIndia @DGCAIndia @IndiGo6E

@kirubaakaran I Leh, if you feel lack of oxygen, then you should go to the govt. Hospital and get treatment. Generally this helps your body adapt and then it is possible to continue the journey.

[Amod Bobade @AmodBobade]

@rajrra @IndiaToday @radhika_apte @IndiGo6E A single hint of raised voice and they threaten the passenger to deboard and launch complaint of harassment. Happened with me in Pune a month back with Indigo only. Passengers have become soft targets.... Until @DGCAIndia wakes up from their sweet sleep, nothing will change...

[Amod Bobade @AmodBobade]

@IndiGo6E, this is your pathetic response time (3 days) for senior citizens asking support stranded for more than 30 hours at foreign airport due to your cancelled flight.
No accountability shown whatsoever....
@DGCAIndia @MEAIndia

[Amod Bobade @AmodBobade]

@TK_HelpDesk And the scammers have reached to traveller much before the actual helpful does...
Any kind of response from airline help desk is still awaited, while elderly passengers are waiting for 20+hours at Istanbul airport without any clue on when they finally depart...

[Amod Bobade @AmodBobade]

@TurkishAirlines @IndiGo6E @DGCAIndia @MEAIndia Yesterday Istanbul - Mumbai flight TK4750/6E18 was cancelled. Pax including sr. citizens are left to sleep at airport benches without mattress/blankets. For 24 hr delay from airline, no facilities are provided.

[Amod Bobade @AmodBobade]

@TK_HelpDesk When I DM the contact and ticket info to @TK_HelpDesk, someone called me on that number from booking .com, said they call from Turkish airlines, and asked me to install a money transfer app and put in bank details in it.
It's pathetic how the info leaks from verified account DM.

[Amod Bobade @AmodBobade]

@IndiGo6E Despite of DM with all required info, nobody from Indigo has approached us in any way.
Travellers stuck at Istanbul airport are clueless about when the flight will depart. Some say 8 PM, some say 11 PM.
No clarity... No support to travellers... Just false auto-replies till now...

[Amod Bobade @AmodBobade]

@instunbul11203 How to DM, if you do not share the link for same? Nobody has approaches us despite of this response seen hours back. It seems traveller concern is the least importance to Istanbul airport authority.

[Amod Bobade @AmodBobade]

@igairport No shower / facility to freshen up provided for a full day delay. Only a small sandwich was given, without taking considering the dietary/medical needs of senior citizens.
Lots of such passengers are stranded today on Istanbul airport benches waiting to fly to Mumbai.
