Chaos at Bengaluru airport as IndiGo faces server issues, 63 flights delayed

IndiGo passengers had a difficult time on Monday after a server glitch delayed 63 flights at the Bengaluru airport for more than half-an-hour. The reservation system, which conked out at 4.29 am, could be restored only at 5.07 am, IndiGo said in a statement.

As the IndiGo staff moved to manual bookings due to the server glitch, it resulted in huge queues at the airline's check-in counters across the airports sources say.  "Due to some technical reasons, IndiGo server at Bengaluru airport was down from 4:29 am to 5:07 am this morning," IndiGo said in a statement.
