Ahmedabad, May 20 (IBNS) A New Delhi bound Indigo 591 flight had to make an emergency landing at the Ahmedabad airport on Thursday, owing to technical glitches, reports said.

The flight had taken off from the Vadodara airport after a 20-minute delay, with 177 passengers and six crew members, Ahmedabad Mirror reported.

The flight was scheduled for a 7:45 a.m. takeoff but eventually took off at 8:10 a.m.

The daily further quoted a passenger as saying, "However, there was a delay of 20 minutes after which the aircraft took off at 8.10am.
