Phuket bound IndiGo flight returns to Delhi airport due to technical snag
An IndiGo flight returned to the Delhi airport soon after taking off for Thailand’s Phuket due to a technical glitch, media reports said.
IndiGo flight no. 6E-1763 took off from Indira Gandhi International Airport at 6:41 am on Tuesday but returned to the bay at around 7:31 am.
"IndiGo pilot asked for a precautionary landing after a technical fault was detected in the aircraft, ATC allowed to land and announced full emergency landing as per procedure," an airport official told ANI.
"IndiGo flight 6E1763 operating from Delhi to Phuket today experienced a technical issue after take-off from Delhi. The aircraft returned back to Delhi for necessary maintenance," an IndiGo statement read, confirming the incident.
All passengers were deboarded and shifted to the terminal building, and an alternate aircraft was arranged for the next operation.
"An alternate aircraft is being provided to the passengers for the flight to Phuket. We regret the inconvenience caused to the passengers," IndiGo said in a statement.
