#DelhiAirport is trending on Twitter as people are recounting their frustrating tales of air travel through the overcrowded airport in December.
Many images and visuals of the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi have been going viral over the last few weeks, with passengers sharing their tales of horror and how traveling by air has become a pain due to holiday season overcrowding.
The hashtag #DelhiAirport has been trending on Twitter with many travellers sharing how they got stuck at the airport for hours despite arriving on time for their flight. Others posted photos and videos of massive crowds and absurdly long queues.
Though the IGI airport authorities have not issued any official statement yet, it is apparent that the Delhi airport remains crowded during this time due to the holiday and wedding season. This is also the first year when rigorous Covid restrictions have not been applied on air travel, paving way for more ticket sales.
Despite flights from Delhi being very expensive over the last few weeks, the Indira Gandhi airport seems to be crowded like the “Kumbh Mela” or a “fish market” even at odd times. People complained about missing their flights, scuffles breaking out, and even wait times as long as 5 hours for some flights.
In the midst of the Delhi airport chaos across the national capital, netizens resorted to doing what they do best – spark a meme fest and hilarious commentary on a problematic and serious situation. Here are some of the best tweets with #DelhiAirport on Twitter.
One netizen took to social media and wrote, “Early morning at a Delhi fish market! At least a dozen scuffles have broken out in the last 20 mins.” Another person wrote, “Reached the airport at 6 am for an 8 am flight. Just about made it!! Insane crowd. It’s like a Kumbh ka mela. Thought I’d find some lost sibling too.”
