New Delhi: IndiGo has been facing a system outage since 12:30 pm on Saturday, affecting flight movements and ground services across airports. The tech glitch has made it difficult for passengers to board or book tickets and they are stranded at the airports, News18 reported.

Several passengers have taken to social media platform X to share their plight, urging the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to take note.

@IndiGo6E it’s good to invest in new aircrafts but how about improving the ground services! This is the scene at indigo counters at Bangalore T1 for last one hour. Additional counters are required, disturbing to see old people suffering. @DGCAIndia please notice pic.twitter.com/LE57At4RC5
