Message from Pieter Elbers, CEO, IndiGo.

Arre mere bags lauta de bhai.

Hostile! This is blackmailing DGCA to relax rules which were notified in January 2024. Indigo had enough time for resourcing which were short down earlier for cost cutting. Refund cannot compensate the great inconvenience caused to passengers.

Just post this PIC and move on brother

You need to fire your head of operations. How couldn't the HoOps didn't see this coming after new regulations were brought in????

Extremely shameful for Indigo. 1) Such a monstrous planning failure 2) Or this was intentional to blackmail @DGCAIndia to cave in. 3) Extremely poor handling of passengers plight 4) No compensation for resulting losses to passengers due to unplanned cancelations 5) Inconveniences should also be compensated @PMOIndia

Sorry but this isn’t an “apology” You • knew that winters are prone to delays • knew you had a pilot shortage • had 18 months to rectify • you still sold tickets • you still overbooked for available capacity There have to be CONSEQUENCES. This was EXTORTION.

Salary of #Indigo CEO is ~43 crores. Double than Previous year. Just to say "SORRY" for their flight services.

Will you compensate for the inconvenience caused Sir? Why are you still selling tickets if the situation is going to be grim?

What were you doing for 1yr? You must face the punishment and compensate the passengers.

Disgraceful. Just resign

You were notified with new guidelines on 31st may 2024 and you had one&half year for hiring and time management. What the fuck were you doing? If this is not a strategic arm twisting of the government to roll back the guidelines then what is it? Stop fooling people.

Fk you Indigo

अंग्रेजी मत पेलो। ऐसा कुकर्म करके अंग्रेजी बोलते हो तो ब्रिटिश इंडिया (ईस्ट इंडिया कंपनी) वाली वाइब्स आने लगती है।

For small personal gain, You ended up hurting people of this country. So many lives were disrupted someone couldn’t attend a wedding, someone couldn’t be there for loved one’s last rites Don’t forget it will come back to cost you one day

Firstly the Indigo board should sack and replace the current executive leadership team. This type of catastrophic mass failure whereby making India and it's passengers look pathetic in the eyes of Global aviation is unacceptable for India in 2025. Aren't there any capable Indian in a population of 1.5 billions people to lead Indigo? If Indians can lead Microsoft, IBM, Google etc. can't Indigo find one leader? What about the compensation to people whose business, leisure, family ceremony trips have been negatively impacted by this mess?

Suspend indigo operation permanently in India.... Arrest this Pieter Elbers immediately... @RamMNK @JM_Scindia

I take fully accountability- and apologize to everyone- that is how you should start the speech.

Isko jail mei daalo

: Over 500 flights cancelled across the country , thousands stranded across Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru & more. Elderly people, students and families stuck for hours with no food, water or even a proper update is this your service promise? Your mis-management and crew-shortage drama show you care more about cutting corners than actual travellers’ lives.

Indigo is bully

Why it feels like AI generated? The voice, the gesture, the emotion, everything.

Resign ASAP

This is not operational disruptions. This is your own created legalised plunder and loot to harass Indians.

No foreigner is in charge no wonder his sabotaging Indigo

Apologies do not move aircraft. Planning and accountability do. With over 1,000 flights cancelled and a 65 percent domestic market share, this failure reflects deep operational mismanagement despite months of preparation under revised crew duty rules. When India is positioning itself as a global aviation hub, such breakdowns damage not just passengers but the country’s reputation as a reliable aviation market. This demands immediate accountability and corrective action, not repeated apologies. #IndigoDelay

@SupremeCourtIND @indSupremeCourt Take Suo-moto cognizance in National & Common Indian people's interest. @MoCA_GoI @DGCAIndia @jagograhakjago what is compensation for customers rights, customers services, customers money, customers time, customers harassment ?

He clearly sabotaged the help of corrupt officials. Someone in the ministry passed on the information that the Govt would bend backwards to please Indigo if they carried out such massive disruptions. Time for @dir_ed & @CBIHeadquarters to crack the whip.

The absolute collapse of India’s aviation sector in the last one week is nothing short of a national shame. Over 1,000 IndiGo flights cancelled, Air India flying planes without proper certification, passengers stranded for days, children missing exams, patients missing treatment — and what do we get from the Modi government and DGCA? A shameful “temporary relaxation” of pilot duty norms instead of fixing the root cause! This is what happens when you allow a cosy duopoly of IndiGo + Air India to choke the sector while regulators look the other way. Safety is being compromised, passengers are being treated like cattle, and no one is being held accountable. Questions the Civil Aviation Minister & DGCA must answer publicly: 1. Why were pilot shortages allowed to reach this crisis point despite repeated warnings from pilots’ unions for over a year? 2. How many Air India aircraft are still operating without valid Certificates of Airworthiness? When will the full list be made public? 3. Why has no penalty been imposed on IndiGo for mass cancellations and no compensation framework enforced even after 6 days of chaos? 4. Who exactly benefited from the sudden “relaxation” of FDTL (flight duty time limitation) rules — passengers or the airlines? I request Leader of Opposition @RahulGandhi, @malviyamit, @PriyankaGandhi, @kcvenugopalmp, @Jairam_Ramesh and every opposition MP to raise this burning issue in Parliament on Day 1 of the Winter Session. This is not just about flights — it is about passenger safety, regulatory failure and gross mismanagement by the Modi government. Enough is enough. #AviationCrisis #HoldDGCAAccountable #PassengersLivesMatter”

Have some shame. Read Community Notes. Indigo literally destroyed all its good image earned for years.
