Within two months, this is the fourth major disruption in the India-Istanbul sector. On Thursday, Indigo flight 6E11 (Delhi-Istanbul) was delayed for over 18 hours. The passengers alleged that they were made to wait at the airport for hours before the airline arranged for accommodation. The flight was scheduled to depart at 6.40 am on January 23 but departed at 1.20 am on January 24. This led to many missing connecting flights. 

A passenger said, “The airline is responsible for the passengers in case of delays. This was not a delay caused by the fog as well. We were told that there was a technical issue but does it take 18 hours to solve a technical issue?”
