IndiGo flight with 140 passengers on board makes emergency landing at Indore airport

An IndiGo flight carrying 140 passengers made an emergency landing at Indore airport on Monday after a technical snag was detected, an official said.

A similar incident took place on Sunday today when a minor technical snag was detected on IndiGo flight 6E 6591 operating from Tirupati to Hyderabad. As a precautionary measure, the pilots decided to turn back and landed safely in Tirupati.

IndiGo Spokesperson said, "We regret the inconvenience caused to our customers and made all efforts to minimise it, including offering them refreshments and hotel accommodation. All affected customers have been re-accommodated on the next available flights or given a full refund against cancellation, as per their preference. At IndiGo, the safety of our customers and crew is our top priority."


The IndiGo flight 6E 6591, departed from Tirupati Airport but began circling the area for nearly 40 minutes after a technical snag was detected. As a precaution, the flight crew decided to return to Tirupati.

The flight was eventually cancelled, as it was the last scheduled service to Hyderabad for the day and several passengers were seen arguing with airline staff regarding rescheduling and alternative arrangements.

IndiGo has arranged a replacement flight for the affected passengers, which is scheduled to depart today morning. As of now, the airline has not issued an official statement regarding the incident.
