Passengers Stand and Pass Food in IndiGo Flight Aisle Despite Crew InstructionsPreviousNext

A video from an IndiGo flight from Krabi to New Delhi shows passengers standing in the aisle, passing food, and chatting despite repeated cabin crew requests to remain seated. The seatbelt sign was reportedly on due to turbulence, but some passengers in rows 1-5 ignored safety instructions, causing disturbance. The footage sparked social media debate, with some comparing the scene to a 'local train' and others criticizing the disregard for crew directions during the flight.
