Ah, the classic 'blame the passenger' response—how original.
Let’s break this down:
- If IndiGo removed the power bank for safety reasons, they were obligated to inform me and return it, just like other responsible airlines do. Instead? Silence.
- I’ve flown multiple times with my drone, including with Emirates, Qatar, and other full-service airlines, and never had it mysteriously vanish.
- The missing power bank is just one part of this mess. My baggage was delayed for over 50 hours, and my $850 DJI Mini 2 drone disappeared—yet IndiGo refuses to take responsibility for anything.
So no, I didn’t ‘bring this onto myself.’ IndiGo brought this onto themselves with their
nonexistent customer service, lack of transparency, and refusal to follow basic aviation standards.
But hey, thanks for the ‘good luck’—I’ll need it dealing with an airline that plays by its own rules. 😉
