'Declared unruly': IndiGo on woman who damaged property at Bhubaneswar airport
IndiGo Airlines declared a female passenger as "unruly" and handed her over to security authorities after she allegedly damaged property worth Rs 49,000 at Bhubaneswar airport. The incident occurred following the cancellation of Flight 6E 7352 from Bhubaneswar to Kolkata on August 13, 2026, due to a technical issue detected during a pre-departure inspection.
IndiGo expressed regret for the inconvenience caused to passengers, offering updates, refreshments, accommodation, alternate travel options, and full refunds as applicable. The woman damaged a monitor, keyboard, and passport-swiping machine at Biju Patnaik International Airport's departure lounge, causing an estimated loss of Rs 49,000. A video of the altercation surfaced on social media, showing a heated confrontation at the airport.
