HYDERABAD: A Varanasi-bound IndiGo flight from Bengaluru made an emergency landing at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport early on Tuesday morning after it developed a technical glitch.
The flight, 6E897, took off from Bengaluru around 5.07am with 137 passengers on board.
To avoid any further delays, the airline arranged an alternate aircraft for the passengers to be flown to Varanasi. They landed at their destination before 10am.
“None of the passengers were harmed in the incident,” the airline confirmed.
In a statement released later, IndiGo said that the “pilot noticed a technical issue and diverted to Hyderabad as a precaution. The aircraft is currently undergoing necessary inspection at Hyderabad airport”.
“We regret the inconvenience caused to the passengers,” IndiGo stated.
