Widespread flight cancellations and delays have pushed frustrated citizens to seek urgent legal intervention.
Advocate Aman Banka has written to the Chief Justice of India, urging the Supreme Court to step in on its own, calling the situation a national aviation breakdown that violates passengers’ basic rights.
His appeal stresses the mounting distress faced by travellers whose medical, academic and professional plans collapsed due to IndiGo’s disruptions.
Public anger is also growing online, with thousands supporting the Yaatri Sarathi petition demanding stronger passenger protections.
The campaign seeks a Rs 500 crore relief fund and substantial compensation for stranded flyers, arguing that simple refunds do not address the larger denial of dignity and accountability. Citizens insist that India’s aviation market deserves global level safeguards.
Alongside this, activists are preparing a full fledged PIL. They are gathering testimonies from affected travellers to show the scale of the crisis and push the court to examine operational failures and weak regulatory responses.
The move reflects a collective demand for justice, transparency and meaningful reform.
