IndiGo Flight Seats Loose During Pune-Indore Flight
A family from Pune had a scary and uncomfortable experience on an IndiGo flight to Indore.
The seat cushions kept coming loose during the flight, even after they told the flight crew many times.
The family was upset because they had spent a lot of money on tickets and were traveling for a medical emergency.
The airline said the cushions are designed to be easily removed for cleaning and that safety was not affected.
The family was still unhappy because they felt the airline was not taking care of the seats properly.
IndiGo flight 6E-284 from Pune to Indore had loose seat cushions on January 10.
Passenger Pankaj Rungta and his family complained about the unstable seats during the flight.
The family was traveling due to a medical emergency and had spent ₹60,000 on tickets.
Despite multiple complaints, the issue persisted, and the airline staff used glue to temporarily fix the cushions.
IndiGo responded that the cushions are designed for easy removal and maintenance, ensuring no safety compromise.
