Early Thursday morning, a Malaysia Airlines flight from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport to Kuala Lumpur was forced to return due to an engine problem that the pilot discovered mid-flight. According to airport sources, Flight MH 199 had 138 passengers on board when it took off at 12:45 am and made a quick landing back due to mechanical issues. According to PTI, the plane was supposed to take off around 12:15 a.m.
On June 18, high ground temperatures caused a mechanical issue at Delhi airport, delaying an IndiGo flight from the nation’s capital to Bagdogra by approximately four hours.
The IndiGo flight 6E 2521 was scheduled to depart from Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport at 2:10 pm and arrive at Bagdogra Airport, near Siliguri in West Bengal, at 4:10 pm.
The delay in Delhi-Bagdogra operations was caused by high ground temperatures. IndiGo is taking action to ensure a timely departure and places the utmost priority on passenger safety. The airline released an official statement apologizing for any inconvenience caused by circumstances beyond their control. Passengers are receiving regular updates.
At 5:51 p.m., the Delhi-Bagdogra flight took off. The aircraft operated by the airline on the Delhi-Bagdogra route are the Airbus A320, A321, and A320neo.
On June 8 at the Mumbai airport, a serious mishap was avoided when an Air India plane took off, and an IndiGo plane landed on the same runway a minute later.
IndiGo aircraft with plate number 6E 6053 was cleared by the Air Traffic Control (ATC) to land at Mumbai Airport from Indore on June 8. The pilot followed the ATC directions and successfully approached and landed. IndiGo prioritizes passenger safety and has reported the issue by protocol.
