The IndiGo flight 6E 6115 en route to Chennai from Delhi was diverted to Hyderabad after a power bank kept in the overhead luggage compartment caught fire. The incident triggered panic on the flight, prompting the cabin crew to use a fire extinguisher to douse the flame. The diverted flight landed safely in Hyderabad. A video of the incident also surfaced on social media from inside the cabin, showing passengers trying to put the fire out using their bags at first; however, the angle was too vague to figure out who eventually put it out.

"IndiGo flight 6E 6115, operating from Delhi to Chennai on October 11, 2026, was diverted to Hyderabad after smoke was detected from a customer's personal electronic device. The cabin crew responded promptly, and the situation was brought under control. An alternate aircraft has been arranged to continue the journey to Chennai," the airline said in a statement. On the website, IndiGo's baggage policy states that power banks and spare/loose lithium batteries are allowed only in hand baggage. The policy adds that items "must remain within the passenger's personal reach at all times, like under the seat, in the seat pocket, or carried on one's person." It adds that they "must not be stowed in overhead compartments or checked baggage".&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/uk-school-ditches-technology-shifts-from-screen-to-pen-and-paper-for-learning-1791707123122">UK school ditches technology, shifts from screen to pen and paper for learning</a><h3>What does IndiGo’s policy say?</h3>In this particular case, the video footage captured the fire breaking out in the overhead compartment. Under IndiGo’s policy, passengers are permitted to carry up to two spare lithium-ion batteries, including power banks, with a capacity of up to 100 watt-hours (Wh), provided they clear security checks at the airport. A standard 100 Wh battery translates to roughly 27,000 milliampere-hours (mAh), though it remains unclear what capacity the power bank involved in this incident had; most consumer-grade devices typically range between 10,000 and 20,000 mAh. Batteries exceeding 100 Wh but not surpassing 160 Wh are also permitted, capped at two units, but only when intended for use with portable medical devices, and carrying them requires prior approval from IndiGo at check-in. According to the airline’s policy, power banks must be stored either in their original retail packaging or in separate plastic bags, with their terminals taped and insulated to guard against short circuits. They are also barred from being recharged or used to charge other devices during the flight. These rules apply uniformly across both domestic and international routes.

The Central Consumer Protection Authority’s (CCPA) action against companies including IndiGo and Jio has brought renewed attention to a digital practice that many consumers encounter every day but often fail to notice: dark patterns.These are not software bugs or design mistakes. They are deliberate features built into websites and apps to influence user behaviour. Whether it is a pre-selected insurance option while booking a flight, a countdown timer urging immediate payment, or charges that appear only at the final payment page, the objective is often the same – to nudge consumers towards decisions they may not have made otherwise.<h2>More than a design problem</h2>The government’s concern is that such practices distort consumer choice. A customer who believes only a few tickets remain may rush to book without comparing prices. Someone who signs up for a free trial may later discover that cancelling the subscription is unusually complicated. Hidden fees can make a product appear cheaper than it actually is.These techniques create an uneven playing field where consumers may not have complete information before making a purchase. The problem is not simply persuasion, but the use of misleading design that exploits attention, urgency and confusion.<h2>The regulatory push</h2>India attempted to address these practices through the CCPA’s Dark Patterns Guidelines, 2023, which identified several forms of deceptive online design, including basket sneaking, false urgency, drip pricing and subscription traps. The guidelines give regulators a framework to examine whether digital platforms are engaging in unfair trade practices.The recent enforcement action suggests that the government is willing to move beyond issuing advisories. Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, the CCPA has powers to investigate and penalise businesses that mislead consumers. However, enforcement remains a challenge because digital interfaces change constantly and many platforms personalise what different users see.Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/delhi-neet-protests-how-bluetooth-mesh-apps-kept-communication-alive-without-internet-1784890656998">Delhi NEET protests: How Bluetooth mesh apps kept communication alive without internet</a><h2>Why companies need a different approach</h2>For companies, the issue is increasingly becoming one of trust rather than just compliance.

India’s leading airlines have decided to cut down domestic flight operations amid rising fuel costs as tensions remain in West Asia. In a statement, Air India said that it was temporarily rationalising select domestic routes between June and August 2026. Reports suggested that IndiGo was also scaling down its domestic operations. This comes amid rising Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) prices as the global energy supply continues to be affected due to Iran war.In a statement, Air India said, “In continuation of our previously announced adjustments to select international services between June and August 2026, we have temporarily rationalised operations on certain domestic routes during the same period, with a reduction in frequencies on select routes. These adjustments are driven by the sustained impact of high fuel prices on overall operations.”According to a Reuters report, citing people familiar with the plans, the airlines will reduce their domestic capacity for June and July by 22 per cent.Days earlier, Air India announced the suspension and reduction of flights on 29 international routes due to soaring aviation turbine fuel prices, airspace curbs, and operational challenges arising from tensions in West Asia and the Strait of Hormuz crisis. The carrier had either suspended or scaled back services on routes spanning North America, Europe, Australia and Southeast Asia, affecting flights from Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai to destinations including Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto, Paris, Singapore, Bangkok and Melbourne. However, it stated that it would still operate over 1,200 international flights each month across five continents despite the reductions.Meanwhile, The New Indian Express reported, citing sources, that similar plans were being decided by IndiGo, saying that the airline would reduce between 5 per cent and 7 per cent of its domestic operations.“Historically, the months following the academic vacation period witness lower occupancy levels. Due to the expected fall in demand, we will scale down operations from June 1. IndiGo operates 1,950 flights daily, so even a small percentage cut translates into a significant number of cancellations,” an airline source said, as quoted by The New Indian Express.

Mumbai: A brief but tense moment unfolded at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport on Wednesday after a suspected security threat aboard an IndiGo flight turned out to be a false alarm.&nbsp;According to airport officials, the scare began when a tissue paper bearing the word “Danger” was discovered inside the lavatory of an IndiGo aircraft preparing to depart for Ahmedabad. The handwritten note immediately raised concerns, prompting crew members to alert ground authorities as a precaution.&nbsp;Treating the situation with utmost seriousness, airport security swiftly activated emergency protocols. The aircraft was isolated, and passengers were safely deboarded while multiple agencies, including the police, fire brigade, and the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS), rushed to the spot. The response caused brief disruption at the airport, with heightened security checks and movement restrictions in the area.&nbsp;A thorough inspection of the aircraft and surrounding premises was carried out. After an extensive search operation, officials confirmed that no explosives or suspicious objects were found on board. Authorities subsequently declared the incident a hoax, bringing relief to passengers and airport staff.&nbsp;Despite the all-clear, the incident has triggered a police investigation. Officials have registered a case against an unidentified individual and are now working to trace the origin of the note. CCTV footage from the aircraft and airport is being examined to identify who may have left the message and whether it was intended as a prank or something more serious.&nbsp;Aviation authorities reiterated that even minor or ambiguous threats are treated with full caution, given the high safety standards in air travel. While the scare turned out to be unfounded, it underscores the importance of strict vigilance and rapid response systems in place at major airports.&nbsp;Normal operations at the airport resumed shortly after the security clearance, and the flight was later cleared for departure following all necessary checks.

Explained: How a ‘Danger’ note on a tissue led to Mumbai Airport bomb scare

As FY26 ends, the ‘fasten seatbelt’ sign is still on for India’s aviation sector. Starting with the Pahalgam attack, Operation Sindoor in April 2025, to the West Asia conflict in March 2026, the sector was marred with multiple internal and external shocks. Rating agency ICRA had earlier projected that the industry would undergo a loss of Rs 17,000 to Rs 18,000 crore or about $2.16 billion. Here’s a look at key events that shaped the turbulent fiscal year 2025-2026 for the aviation industry<h2>April 2025: Pahalgam attack&nbsp;</h2>It was a shaky take-off for Indian airlines in the financial year 26. It started with the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir. Travel agencies indicated nearly 90 percent bookings for Jammu and Kashmir were cancelled by tourists over safety concerns. Following the attack, airlines like Air India and IndiGo waived off cancellation and rescheduling fees. Special flights from Srinagar to several destinations were also added.&nbsp;<h2>May 2025: Operation Sindoor</h2>India’s military strike against terror camps in Pakistan followed in May 2025. At least 32 airports in northern India were shut. Major carriers, including IndiGo, Air India, SpiceJet, and Akasa Air, suspended services in the region. It was an unplanned closure, leading to widespread flight cancellations and re-routings.&nbsp;<h2>June 2025: Air India Ahmedabad crash</h2>Come June 2025, an Air India plane bound for London crashed in Ahmedabad, minutes after taking off. All but one of the 242 people on board were killed, while 19 others on the ground also perished. Air India cancelled 83 flights in the week following the crash. Affected routes included Delhi-Dubai, Delhi-Paris, and Ahmedabad-London. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) ordered strict inspections of Air India’s Boeing 787-8 fleet. Operations were severely impacted by both maintenance checks and the unavailability of aircraft, leading to passenger inconvenience and delays. Air India began a partial resumption of services from August 1, with plans to fully restore operations by October 1.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/fpi-outflows-india-march-2026-market-impact-rupee-oil-1774861514706">Foreign investors fleeing Indian market, dump $12 bn Indian equities amid Iran war</a><h2>November 2025: Full implementation of FDTL norms&nbsp;</h2>Stricter flight duty time limitations or FDTL norms kicked in. Announced in January 2025 that year, the norms were implemented in phases starting from July 1. Full implementation in November, led to a shortage of pilots and cabin crew in December. The norms reduced flying hours and increased rest times.<h2>December 2025: IndiGo flight disruptions&nbsp;</h2>Citing the revised norms, IndiGo&nbsp;experienced massive and sustained flight disruptions. The airline cancelled thousands of flights between December 3 and 10. There was severe chaos at major airports like Bengaluru and Delhi. Daily cancellations peaked above 1,000 at one point. Over 16.2 lakh domestic passengers were affected. Nearly 9.8 lakh people faced cancellations, and 6.4 lakh experienced long delays. This forced the airline to offer compensation vouchers of Rs 10,000 to severely impacted passengers, in addition to statutory compensation. The DGCA penalised IndiGo&nbsp;more than Rs 22 crore for direct failures and continued non-compliance.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>December 2025: Windows outage&nbsp;</h2>The implementation of stricter pilot duty rules collided with a global Windows outage and chronic supply chain delays that left 130 aircraft grounded. The result? Indigo’s third-quarter profits plummeted by 78 per cent, and the government was forced to step in with emergency 'reboot' exemptions. One-time temporary exemption from FDTL norms was granted to IndiGo&nbsp;following the disruption. Three months after the crisis, Indigo’s CEO Pieter Elbers quit with immediate effect. Earlier in Feb 2026, IndiGo&nbsp;announced it had decided to comply with the revised norms.<h2>Feb-March 2026: West Asia war</h2>Come February 28, 2026, U.S. and Israel forces struck Iran. Aviation schedules the world over were shaken. Flight operations into and out of the Gulf have been disrupted. By March 9, the 'war premium' hit home, as fuel charges were slapped onto every ticket. A spike in global crude prices, closure of busy aviation hubs, and sweeping airspace restrictions across West Asia collectively landed a heavy blow to the airline industry.&nbsp;<h2>Aviation sector losses to top Rs 18,000 cr, says expert</h2>Kinjal Shah, Senior Vice President and Co-Group Head, Corporate Ratings, ICRA Limited, said multiple factors drove losses for the industry during the fiscal year. One is airspace closures; 15-20 per cent of Indian international flights to West Asia are facing airspace closure, she explained.&nbsp;&nbsp;The second reason is the re-routing of long-haul flights, which led to additional fuel burn.&nbsp;Another factor is the depreciation of the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar. This is because roughly 35-50 per cent of the cost of airlines is denominated in dollars. Shah added that it is likely that aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices from April will see a sharp increase. For FY26, the impact would largely stem from reduced international passenger traffic and rupee depreciation, she said.&nbsp;While ICRA has not revised its forecast of a Rs 17,000 crore to Rs 18,000 crore loss for the industry for FY26, Shah said the agency expects a downward bias.<h2>Triple threat for India’s aviation sector</h2>The 'triple threat' of the June tragedy, the December operational chaos, and now the near $100-per-barrel oil reality has been devastating for India’s aviation sector. With the Strait of Hormuz blocked, ATF prices didn't just rise—they doubled. Air India's London flights were forced into 12-hour detours, while Indigo's leased Norse aircraft were barred from Gulf airspace entirely. Against this backdrop, airlines are no longer just chasing growth; they’re fighting for stability after a turbulent year. With IndiGo’s stock down over 15% since February 28, Air India facing massive losses, and fuel costs pushing ticket prices higher, the road ahead for FY27 remains anything but certain.
