indigo flight emergency

Chennai, India: An IndiGo flight traveling from Mumbai to Phuket was forced to make an emergency landing in Chennai on Thursday following a bomb scare, authorities confirmed. The Airbus A320 aircraft, operating flight 6E 1089, was carrying 176 passengers and six crew members when the threat was identified mid-air. The flight departed Mumbai at 3:33 PM and was over the Bay of Bengal when the crew was alerted to a possible explosive device in the aircraft's lavatory. The pilot promptly diverted the aircraft to Chennai, ensuring a safe landing at 7:20 PM local time. Passengers were safely deboarded and moved to the airport lounge as security procedures were initiated. Following the landing, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) deployed its bomb disposal unit along with sniffer dogs to thoroughly inspect the aircraft. The investigation revealed that the threat was a hoax. Officials continue to investigate the origin of the threatening email and are working to identify the individual responsible. Due to a night curfew at Phuket airport, the flight’s onward journey was postponed until later in the evening. IndiGo assured passengers that efforts were being made to minimize inconvenience, including providing refreshments and continuous updates throughout the delay. Months ago, on April 8 2025 an IndiGo flight operating from Jaipur to Mumbai was forced to make an emergency landing at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) on Monday evening after a bomb threat note was discovered onboard. The aircraft, flight 6E 5324, was carrying 225 passengers and landed safely at approximately 8:50 p.m. Once the plane landed, it was promptly guided to a remote bay for a comprehensive security sweep. Passengers were then safely disembarked under the careful supervision of security personnel.

Ahmedabad: An IndiGo ATR-72 aircraft operating flight 6E-07966 to Diu aborted takeoff at Ahmedabad airport on Wednesday morning after a fire was detected in one of its engines during the initial roll. The incident occurred at around 11 a.m. when the pilots, noticing abnormal engine indications, declared a Mayday and brought the aircraft to a safe stop on the runway. Airport fire and rescue teams responded immediately, extinguishing the fire and ensuring passenger safety. “All passengers and crew members were safely evacuated using emergency slides. There were no injuries reported,” IndiGo said in a statement, adding that an alternate aircraft was being arranged to operate the delayed sector. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has initiated an investigation to determine the cause of the fire. Preliminary checks suggest a technical malfunction in one of the engines, officials familiar with the matter said. The affected aircraft has been grounded for inspection. This incident follows a series of technical occurrences reported across Indian carriers in recent weeks, though no injuries have been reported in any of them. The DGCA continues to maintain that aircraft in India meet global safety standards, and regular audits are conducted to ensure compliance.
