Domestic airline IndiGo reported a temporary system slowdown affecting its network, including its website and booking services on Saturday. This led to chaos at the Bengaluru airport as the issue began around 11 am, leaving passengers stranded. Visuals have also surfaced showing passengers rushing to check in and check out amidst the server problem at Terminal 1.
Due to this, some flights have been rescheduled by the airline staff, and delays in take-offs occurred due to check-in problems. The airline also said this may result in slower check-ins and that it is working to restore normalcy at the earliest.
