On October 5, IndiGo airlines faced a temporary system slowdown that affected their entire network, causing delays and longer wait times for passengers during check-ins. The disruption impacted the airline’s website and booking system, leading to increased wait times and longer queues at the airport. IndiGo assured customers that airport staff were available to assist and support travelers to make their journey as smooth as possible. The airline expressed regret for the inconvenience caused and thanked customers for their patience and understanding during this period.
This incident serves as a cautionary tale for insurance executives. As we move towards a more digital world, technical issues like these can have a significant impact on businesses.
