"First they were made to stand in queue for about 10-15 minutes in the scorching sun. Later, the flight took off without turning on the AC. AC was not turned on from take-off to landing. The passengers were very upset. But, no one mentioned it to the flight crew. Some could not bear the heat and started fanning themselves with papers to keep them cool. Air Hostesses generously provided tissue papers for passengers to wipe sweat,” Amarinder Singh tweeted. He said that the passengers were made to sit inside the plane without air conditioning for 90 minutes.

Recently tagging this video to DGCA and the Airports Authority of India (AAI), Amarinder asked to take strict action against Indigo Airlines and the relevant authorities. Meanwhile, technical problems have arisen in three IndiGo flights in a single day.

A flight departing from Delhi to Patna turned back urgently within three minutes of take-off due to a technical fault. After this incident, another flight from Delhi to Ranchi faced a technical problem shortly after takeoff. The flight was diverted within an hour.
