Watch: At Mumbai Airport This Morning = Chaos, Missed Flights.
Chaos unfolded this morning at Mumbai airport, which saw a massive avalanche of passengers who were stuck in long lines with many missed flights.
The national airline IndiGo advised passengers “to report early to allow sufficient time for the security check.”
Airport authorities attributed today’s sudden rush of passengers to the “holiday season.” “Similar experiences have also been witnessed at other airports in the city of the country.
In addition, due to recent intelligence reports received by stakeholders and the threat at another airport in the state, security measures have been further improved in CSMIA “.
The safety and protection of our passengers is of the highest priority and our commitment is to continue without compromising these critical aspects.
CSMIA Airport has deployed additional personnel for faster response at all security checkpoints for a smoother experience for passengers, “Mumbai Airport said in a statement.
Disgruntled passengers ventured on social media. “T2 AT CSMIA (Mumbai Airport) is a disaster. It literally feels like we are in the dark ages. Endless crowds, broken machines, frayed tempers, chaos everywhere.
The staff go out of their way but absolutely unable to cope. Who runs this absolute shit show? Label them. (sic), “songwriter and singer Vishal Dadlani tweeted.
Sharing a photo, Prakarsh Gagdani, CEO of fintech firm 5paisa.com, said: “Mumbai airport is a mess. It takes at least 1 hour to get in and check in and then this crowd to security check.
How can anyone board a flight arriving even 2 1/2 hrs before the domestic flight. This is the true commercial capital of the country. (sic) “. In a tweet, IndiGo said: “# 6ETravelAdvisory: Heavy rush at #Mumbai and #Chennai Airport. Passengers are advised to report early to allow enough time for security screening.”
