Mid-air scare! IndiGo flight carrying 192 passengers makes emergency landing in Pune after landing gear snag
A Guwahati-bound IndiGo flight carrying 192 passengers returned to Pune airport on Sunday after its landing gear failed to retract shortly after take-off, prompting authorities to declare a full emergency.
All passengers were safely evacuated from flight 6E 0623 following its emergency landing.
No injuries have been reported so far.
IndiGo arranged another flight to transport the affected passengers to Guwahati.
"IndiGo flight 6E 623, operating from Pune to Guwahati on 15 November 2026, returned to origin and landed safely at the Pune International Airport after a technical snag was detected shortly after take-off," the airline said in a statement, as quoted by India Today.
The full emergency declared at Pune airport was officially withdrawn at 9.10 am.
The Indian Air Force declared the emergency immediately after the pilot alerted Air Traffic Control (ATC) about the technical problem involving the aircraft's landing gear.
