According to the officials cited by PTI, the flight landed safely in Bengaluru, where it was refueled and was expected to resume its journey to the destination.
An Air IndiGo flight en route from Guwahati to Chennai was unexpectedly diverted to Bengaluru after the pilot reported low fuel levels, according to airport authorities.
The aircraft, which had around 168 passengers on board, was redirected mid-air as a safety precaution after the crew identified insufficient fuel to complete the journey.
Officials said the flight landed safely in Bengaluru, where it was refueled and was expected to resume its journey to the intended destination shortly after.
In another incident on Thursday morning, an IndiGo flight bound for Leh had to return to Delhi due to a technical issue, a source told PTI.
The A320 aircraft, operating as flight 6E2006, had taken off from the national capital and remained airborne for more than two hours before the issue was detected. According to data from flight tracking platform Flightradar24, the plane turned back mid-air and safely landed in Delhi.
The source indicated that a technical malfunction prompted the pilot to make the precautionary decision to return.
On the same day, an Air India flight from Delhi to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam returned to the national capital as a precautionary measure, the airline said on Thursday.
According to a spokesperson, flight AI388, which had taken off earlier in the day, landed safely back in Delhi, where all passengers disembarked safely.
