Elbers claimed the airline has paid refunds to all eligible passengers, but did not specify how many got the money. Other airlines in the world have gone through similar processes, with similar disruptions at different times. “...Airlines throughout the world, Southwest, Ryanair, Delta, all of them have gone through similar processes and no one is proud of it. Hundreds of thousands of IndiGo passengers were stranded across India in early December when the airline cancelled around 4,500 flights between December 2 and 9. Asked about the amount of refunds given and the number of passengers who got the benefit, the IndiGo CEO did not comment.
