Passengers onboard IndiGo flight 6E 657 experienced anxious moments at Vadodara Airport after the aircraft reportedly suffered a complete power failure while stationed on the ground before departure.
According to passengers, the sudden outage left the cabin without air conditioning, lights, and proper ventilation for nearly 30 minutes. Flyers onboard described the atmosphere inside the aircraft as uncomfortable and stressful as temperatures reportedly began rising within the cabin during the delay.
Several passengers shared videos and accounts on social media showing dark cabin conditions while travelers waited for the aircraft systems to be restored. Many passengers were seen using mobile phone flashlights as airline staff and technical teams worked to manage the situation and resolve the issue.
The disruption reportedly occurred before takeoff, and there were no reports of injuries among passengers or crew members. The exact reason behind the power failure has not yet been officially confirmed by the airline or airport authorities.
The incident has once again highlighted the importance of quick technical response and passenger communication during onboard operational disruptions, especially during hot weather conditions on ground-held aircraft.
