GMR and RTC arranged special buses from Shamshabad to several cities. Buses were made available for Chennai, Bengaluru, Vijayawada, Rajahmundry, Kakinada and Visakhapatnam. This emergency arrangement allowed people to choose road transport when flights were cancelled or delayed. The additional buses played a key role in managing the heavy passenger movement at the airport.
The crisis led to confusion and long queues, but the coordinated response from airlines, Railways and RTC helped reduce the impact. However, the input does not provide details on the cause of the IndiGo crisis or how long the disruption may last. For now, the special services remain active to support the heavy flow of people affected by the cancellations.
