New Delhi: Passengers boarding international flights from Delhi will have to arrive at the airport earlier than usual. As per Air India’s travel advisory, check-in counters will close 75 minutes before the scheduled departure time, instead of the earlier 60 minutes.
This schedule change has been made to improve passenger comfort and allow sufficient time for check-in and security screening procedures, even during peak hours.
”For international departures from Delhi, the check-in counter will now close 75 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time. This change from the earlier closing time of 60 minutes ensures a smooth and comfortable travel experience for all, allowing ample time for check-in and security screening procedures even during peak periods. We appreciate your cooperation in reaching the airport well in advance of this new closing time,” Air India posted on its official X account.
IndiGo Airlines issued an apology on Saturday after passengers on board the Delhi-Varanasi flight faced difficulties after the plane’s air conditioning system malfunctioned and led to chaotic conditions on the aircraft.
Responding to the whole issue, sources within IndiGo claimed that the air conditioning was working properly but a change in temperature caused the cabin to heat up, leading to panic among passengers.
“We extend our apologies for the inconvenience experienced on Flight 6E 2235 operating from Delhi to Varanasi on 5 September 2024,” read a press release from the airlines.
“The discomfort was attributed to fluctuations in cabin temperature, which were adjusted in response to passenger requests. Our cabin crew immediately provided assistance to the affected passenger to address the situation,” the statement added.
