A number of departures were delayed due to operational issues. Responding to the delays, a passenger posted on X, " Absolute chaos at the #Hyd airport as @IndiGo6E delayed multiple flights to #Blr without any information for hours. People are missing meetings and connecting flights. The mgmt has no answers & is nowhere to be seen. The DGCA & GMR websites show that these flights have departed."
