Due to this, there was an atmosphere of chaos at Mumbai airport. Passengers alleged that there was no air circulation on the aerobridge. During this time, a heated argument was also seen between the passengers and the airport staff.
According to an India Today report, several passengers also alleged that the ground staff was asked to start boarding, but they were not allowed to board the flight as the IndiGo crew was absent.
