IndiGo Issues Warning on PNR Sharing

02 Feb 2024 CW Team

In a digital age where connectivity intertwines with vulnerability, IndiGo, a prominent player in the aviation sector, has issued a cautionary advisory to air travellers. The airline urges passengers to refrain from sharing their PNR (Passenger Name Record) details on social media platforms due to rising instances of cyber fraud. This proactive measure comes in response to a surge in incidents where cybercriminals exploit publicly shared PNR information to engage in fraudulent activities.

The PNR, a unique identifier for airline reservations, contains sensitive details such as passenger names, flight details, and contact information. IndiGo's advisory aims to safeguard passengers from potential scams, emphasising the importance of personal data protection in an increasingly interconnected world.

As the aviation industry navigates the challenges posed by evolving cyber threats, IndiGo's initiative underscores the need for passenger awareness and vigilance. The airline recommends that travellers exercise caution while engaging on social media platforms to prevent unauthorized access and misuse of their PNR information.

In an era where digital security is paramount, IndiGo's timely warning serves as a reminder for flyers to prioritise the protection of their personal information, ensuring a secure and hassle-free travel experience.
