IndiGo flight from Delhi to Leh returns mid-air due to techncial issue
An IndiGo flight from Delhi to Leh returned to Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport shortly after take-off Thursday morning due to a technical issue. The Airbus A320-251N, operating as IndiGo's 6E2006, took off from the IGI Airport at 6.30 am and was scheduled to land at the Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport in Leh by 7.50 am. However, the flight faced a technical issue and returned to Delhi as a precautionary measure. The flight was checked and took off again at 10.36 am. IndiGo has not issued a formal statement regarding the matter yet. Since the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad on June 12, in which 241 people on board the flight were killed, flights across India have seen an uptick in emergency landings. On Monday, an Air India Express flight from Delhi to Ranchi faced a technical issue and returned for an emergency landing. After inspections, the aircraft was cleared for operations at 7.56 pm, and landed in Ranchi at 9.27 pm. The flight was scheduled to take off at 4.25 pm, but took off at 4.39 pm and was eventually diverted back to Delhi. An Air India flight from Delhi to Hong Kong also turned back for an emergency landing 90 minutes into the flight after facing technical issues Monday. This Air India flight was a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, the same model involved in the Ahmedabad crash. On Sunday evening, an Air India flight from Delhi to Vadodara returned shortly after take-off due to reportedly a problem with the landing gear. The flight had just taken off from the IGI Airport when the crew reportedly observed that the landing gear was not retracting properly. On June 12, Air India flight AI 171 from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick crashed shortly after take-off. All passengers on board, except for one, were killed, along with several individuals on the ground, as the plane struck the buildings of the B J Medical College hostel.
