The Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) is currently overflowing, according to passengers who are waiting hours to board flights. Many travellers expressed their dissatisfaction with the lengthy lines at security and outside the airport on social media.
Rocky Singh, the host of the Highway on My Plate (HOMP) show, was one of the complainants. Welcome to Hell was written beside a photo of a very long line at security.
Good morning! It’s 5:30 in the morning at Delhi T3, and you’ve arrived in HELL. It took 35 minutes to enter the airport, 25 minutes at a relatively empty Vistara, and now you have to wait in the “mother of all security lines”: security. All of you who come here, give up hope. Jyotiraditya Scindia, the Union Civil Aviation Minister, was mentioned by Rocky Singh on Twitter.
Author Nirmal Ghosh and the head of the Straits Times’ US bureau are among the other complainants. He vented on Twitter about the confusion and extended wait times. Fighting has broken out at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi. From curbside to clearing security, it takes 3 hours, Ghosh wrote.
Another tourist lamented the missed flights and lengthy lines. It is a daily occurrence at IGI T3, he wrote. Coming to the Delhi airport is nothing less than torturing and torturing oneself. CISF did not plan, assist, or take action. At Delhi’s T3 airport, there were missed flights, fights, long lines, and no battery cars.
The Delhi airport was likened to a “fish market” by one traveller. She posted on Twitter that the Delhi airport was “simply nuts. With its serpentine lines at every level and its uncooperative Vistara workers, it resembles a fish market. Despite arriving 1.5 hours early, they refused to allow me board the aircraft..
