Abu Dhabi-bound IndiGo flight makes emergency landing at IGI airport

An IndiGo plane, travelling from Lucknow to Abu Dhabi, made an emergency landing at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport on Saturday after a suspected hydraulic failure. The flight, with nearly 155 passengers onboard, landed in the national capital at 10.42 pm.

A similar incident happened two weeks ago, when a Delhi-bound IndiGo flight made an emergency landing at Bhubaneshwar airport shortly after taking off when it was hit by a bird.

In August, another IndiGo flight made an emergency landing at Maharashtra’s Nagpur airport due to a passenger’s medical emergency. The passenger on the Mumbai to Ranchi IndiGo flight started vomiting blood. Even though he was taken to the hospital, he succumbed to his illness.
