New Delhi, December 4: Congress MP and former Union Minister Manish Tewar on Sunday expressed disappointment over the repeated delays in IndiGo flights. Tiwar, who has flown three IndiGo flights in the last week, particularly highlighted the recent incident involving flight 6E2159 from Chandigarh to Delhi, which was delayed by more than 90 minutes. This followed another significant delay of over 2.5 hours in IndiGo 6E flight 1855 from Delhi to Chandigarh.

On an earlier occasion, IndiGo 6E flight number 1855 from Delhi to Chandigarh was delayed by more than two and a half hours.” He said the primary reason for choosing IndiGo was its historical punctuality, and commented, “Otherwise the service etc. It’s better to leave it unsaid.”
