A passenger en route to Mumbai for a job interview missed his connecting flight from Delhi and nearly lost the work opportunity due to a 7-hour delay in take off. Like him, others who were aboard Indigo flight 6E 5006 (Guwahati to Delhi) missed their connecting flights due to the delay. 

The Indigo flight, scheduled to take off at 6.05 pm, was initially delayed by 20 minutes. The passengers, who were allowed to board at 6.25 pm, were later asked to alight since the aircraft had technical difficulties. This caused significant delays causing many to miss their connecting flights. The passengers aboard the flight also alleged that the crew was rude and used abusive language.
