Indigo Airlines Flight 6E 2235 from Delhi to Varanasi broke down on the 5th (local time), according to Indian media such as AsianNet.
The air conditioner didn't work during the 1 hour flight. The crew said it would be operating normally soon, but to no avail.
This caused internal temperatures to rise and forced about 200 passengers to use magazines or books like fans.
Some passengers complained of headaches and suffocation and almost fainted.
Only after arriving at the destination airport could passengers manage to 'escape' from the plane.
Indigo Airlines said in an official statement "We apologize for the inconvenience caused to passengers."," he promised to prevent a recurrence.
However, there are voices pointing to repeated system failures in Indigo Airlines planes.
Earlier in July, the air conditioner was also criticized for not operating on flight 6E7028 to Tiruchirapalli.
Tamil Nadu's industry minister at the time "Air conditioning defects are causing passengers to sweat and choke on board", he pointed out.
