Flight chaos spoils India's wedding parties

Traditional wedding functions are a big affair in India, but they have become a major casualty of the crisis engulfing India's biggest airline, IndiGo.

- 

IndiGo's mass cancellations this week left thousands of passengers stranded, but the disruptions jolted brides and grooms hard - a couple was forced to attend their own wedding reception virtually, many rushed to reschedule and one family opted for a pricier charter flight.

Even the Singapore High Commissioner to India, Simon Wong, was trapped in the chaos, posting on X that his flight was cancelled and he was "lost for words" as he could not attend the wedding of a young staff member in the remote town of Deoghar, in eastern India.
