Comedian and actor Vir Das recently talked about his experience flying with IndiGo, and he had some negative things to say. The airline reacted to the actor's criticism of their regularly delayed flights with an answer. 

Here's what Vir had to say... 

In his tweet, Vir mentioned the disservice by the airline that keeps the passengers and lands accordingly, causing landing delays. IndiGo's official X account replied to his tweet, apologising for the difficulty faced while also pointing out that the delay was ascribed to Mumbai airport air traffic congestion, which is outside of the control of the management. They went on to mention that their in-flight team also announced the delay onboard.

IndiGo replied to a fan who said that Vir received a response because he is a celebrity, but they never received one, and they asked for the person's PNR number.

Other celebrities who lashed out! 

Actors Pooja Hegde, Rana Daggubati, Ankit Tiwari, Ranvir Shorey, Sonu Sood, Kapil Sharma, and others have all called out IndiGo in the past, so Vir is not the first star to do so. Ranvir, who was delayed by ten hours and was meant to meet his child, who was alone at home, had published a lengthy post on X detailing his entire situation and even threatening to sue the airline.

Radhika Apte encountered problems at the Mumbai airport in January of this year as well. They were confined to an aeroplane for hours without access to food or drink. In the same month, Richa Chadha said that her flight had been delayed by four hours and blasted the airline.
