Airline Review Penned by Sean Paul
=====================================================================================================
In the skies of 2025, IndiGo Airlines is facing a storm of customer complaints, with passengers reporting significant dissatisfaction related to flight delays, lost luggage, and customer support responsiveness.
The airline's customer service has been described as robotic, dismissive, and uncoordinated, with no interest in resolving issues. This is evident in the numerous complaints about delayed or canceled flights, where passengers often struggle to secure refunds. Some reviewers have even reported canceled flights without timely communication or refunds.
Lost luggage is another area of concern, with numerous complaints of baggage being lost or not returned promptly. The distress of missing baggage and poor follow-up from customer service is a recurring theme in passenger reviews. The Ministry of Civil Aviation’s grievance data for July 2025 shows that IndiGo had 21 complaints registered, including those related to baggage issues among others, underscoring ongoing operational challenges.
Customer support is another area where IndiGo is falling short. Reports consistently mention long hold times, unresponsive phone lines, and difficulty reaching agents. Many passengers complain of no responses to refund requests or complaint follow-ups, and problems with ticket cancellations after counter closures. One review described a bitter experience with no assistance at the airline’s airport office after missing a flight.
A recent incident involving a first-time visitor to India highlights the airline's shortcomings. Despite arriving just under the cut-off, the visitor was abandoned and missed the flight with no support or alternative arrangements. The visitor was passed from person to person without clear instructions or urgency, despite the efforts of a kind IndiGo staff member.
In light of these experiences, it is no surprise that the airline has an average customer service rating of about 1.8 to 2.0 out of 5, reflecting widespread complaints. Given these challenges, it is recommended that passengers consider other airlines for their travel needs.
