Goa woman slams IndiGo for no response over her damaged luggage
According to her, she immediately raised the issue upon arrival in Delhi, submitted photos, and followed up over calls and emails. She said she was assured of a resolution within three days. But nothing came of it.'What followed was a string of calls from various numbers, each assuring me, 'We'll resolve it, don't worry.' It's now well past that, and I've received no written response, no compensation, and no accountability,' she wrote.Calling the airline out for its silence, she added, 'This is no longer about a damaged bag. It's about respect—for passengers, and for the trust we place in a brand long after landing.'In her post, she also tagged IndiGo's CEO Pieter Elbers, DGCA India and other aviation authorities, hoping her complaint would reach someone who could uphold the values IndiGo claimed to stand for.advertisement'I'm still waiting for a resolution, and more importantly, a response that reflects the integrity passengers deserve,' Vaishali said as she concluded her post.Take a look at the post here:Reacting to the post, IndiGo said, 'Ms Sharma, we sincerely regret to know this. Kindly allow us some time, while we are getting this checked. ~Team IndiGo.'Vaishali, meanwhile, said in response to IndiGo's comment that she is still waiting for some resolution.

The renovation work, which commenced in Feb, is scheduled to be fully completed by Oct." Family toilets at the airport are designated restrooms that cater to the needs of families travelling with young children or individuals needing assistance. They often include features like diaper changing stations, child-friendly facilities, and sometimes even seating areas. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why Seniors Are Snapping Up This TV Box, We Explain!

Bad news for Pakistan supporter Turkey as Ankara's tourism economy sinks due to…, Erdogan staring at destruction due to…
Bad news for Pakistan supporter Turkey as Ankara's tourism economy sinks due to…, Erdogan staring at destruction due to… After Ankara came out in support of Pakistan during the recent India-Pakistan war, a 'Boycott Turkey' campaign was started in India as Indians boycotted Turkish goods and cancelled tourist bookings to the country. Advertisement (File) Turkey, which openly supported Pakistan during the recent India-Pakistan conflict after Operation Sindoor, is now paying a heavy price of the decision, as Ankara's tourism economy has dipped by a massive 37 percent, primarily because of Indian tourists boycotting the country as a tourist destination. Why India's boycott hit Turkish economy? After Ankara came out in support of Pakistan during the recent India-Pakistan war, a 'Boycott Turkey' campaign was started in India as Indians boycotted Turkish goods and cancelled tourist bookings to the country, resulting in a huge decline in the number of Indian tourists visiting to Turkey. Advertisement === According to media reports, the number of Indian tourists who visited Turkey in June slumped to 24,250 from the 38,307 in the same month last year, a decline of 37 percent, while the numbers also dropped significantly in the month of May, dealing a major blow to Turkey's tourism industry and its economy. Notably, India-based travel portals such as MakeMyTrip, EaseMyTrip and Cleartrip have also stopped promoting Turkey as a tourist destination, resulting in further decline. Advertisement === Following Turkey's open support to Pakistan, India took a slew of measures to downgrade ties with Eurasian country, including cancelling major business deals with Turkish firms. How Turkey supported Pakistan during Operation Sindoor? Turkey, along with China and Azerbaijan, was among the few countries that openly supported Pakistan during the recent India-Pakistan conflict, and also armed the Pakistani forces with advanced military drones like the Bayraktar TB2, which were actively used against Indian installations during Operation Sindoor. Following the conflict, Turkey has boosted its strategic and military ties with Pakistan, and is likely to offer its state-of-the-art ALKA-KAPLAN laser tank to Islamabad, which could pose a major threat to India as it would significantly boost the enemy's capability to counter Indian UCAVs, such as those used to target terrorist and military infrastructure in Pakistan during Operation Sindoor

Indian traveller numbers to Turkey fall as ties sour after Operation Sindoor
NEW DELHI: Indian globetrotters are giving Turkey the miss following the latter's steadfast support to Pakistan during Operation Sindoor . Data from the Turkish tourism ministry shows Indian tourists dropped by 37% this June to 24,250 from 38,307 in the same month last year. And the fall in May 2025 over the same month previous year was 24%. In Jan-June 2025, about 1.4 lakh Indian tourists visited Turkey, down 15% from 1.6 lakh in the same period last year. The fall comes after constant year-on-year increase in the range of 5%-7% in the immediately preceding months of Dec 2024 to Feb 2025. On an overall basis, Indian tourists accounted for a miniscule — less than 1% — of all international arrivals in Turkey. However, big banner Bollywood movies being shot there and post Covid there was a constant increase in the numbers. But with Pakistan firing Turkey-made drones in the border areas of India during Operation Sindoor and President Erdogan's open support to Pakistan changed things quickly. A number of big tour operators in India had stopped selling packages to Turkey and Azerbaijan, keeping in mind the public sentiment here. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Susan Boyle Is Now so Thin and Looks Beautiful! Undo 'As a destination, Turkey has fallen off the bucket list of Indian travellers. Immediately after Operation Sindoor we had seen a fall in demand for travel by Turkish Airlines too. Now that has picked up a bit as via Istanbul the airline connects to about 240 destinations. But the trend of people taking a stopover in Istanbul while transiting between India and the rest of the world on Turkish Airlines has taken a hit along with fewer Indian travellers going to the country,' said a leading Delhi-based travel agent. Azerbaijan has also fallen from the good books of Indian travellers. 'We have seen Georgia pick up instead,' said a tour operator. Something similar may happen with Turkey next year when direct flights begin between India and Greece. 'We have seen an increase in inquiries for Greece. But going there means taking a one-stop flight in the absence of nonstops from India. That will change next year,' said an official of a big online tour operator. The current bilaterals allow a daily flight between Istanbul and Delhi by an Indian carrier (IndiGo operates the same) & Turkish Airlines (TA) each. And as many flights between Istanbul and Mumbai. Seeking more traffic from India, Turkey had for past few years been unsuccessfully seeking an upward revision of the bilaterals. The relations nosedived after Operation Sindoor with India. In mid-May, India revoked security clearance to Turkey's Celebi Airport Services India Pvt Ltd 'in the interest of national security.' The company was asked to stop its operations at the nine Indian airports it was present in. These included Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Goa, Cochin and Kannur. Govt also asked IndiGo to wind up its wet lease of two Turkish Airlines' wide body Boeing 777s by Aug 31. IndiGo had sought their continued use till Nov 30, 2025.
