A family from south Calcutta, set to travel to Varanasi for a holiday on a 10am IndiGo flight on Wednesday, was informed at 9pm the previous night that their flight had been cancelled because of “bad weather”. The road trip took more than 14 hours, compared with the less thanone-and-a-half hours the flight would have taken. They had purchased tickets on the IndiGo flight for around ₹20,000. But around 9pm on Tuesday, the airline informed him that the flight was cancelled due to bad weather,” said a family member. Metro had earlier reported how several passengers had cancelled travel plans this holiday season following the crisis at IndiGo earlier this month.
