Taking a flight to a destination might be a quick way to get around, however, several unanticipated obstructions can turn up. Delays or diversions of flights due to weather conditions are probably the leading cause of obstruction in one’s travel schedule. Recently, an IndiGo flight had to be diverted owing to similar reasons. The passengers were, no doubt, very inconvenienced because of it. Here are all the details available about this particular piece of news.
IndiGo Flight Diverted After Pilot Fails To Land Successfully
This particular instance has left many passengers grossly inconvenienced. On the 31st of August, an IndiGo flight numbered 6E 6528 took off at 9 PM from the Kolkata airport. It was headed to the Rahul Gandhi International Airport or RGIA in Hyderabad.
However, when it arrived in Hyderabad around 11 PM, the passengers were disappointed and confused when the pilot failed to land the plane. According to an article recently published in The Times of India, the flight, said a passenger, kept hovering over the Hyderabad airport.
This went on till 11:45 PM after which, the flight was diverted to Bengaluru. Apparently, the pilot attempted twice to land the plane at RGIA but failed to do so. The reason cited by the airline was bad weather conditions.
Airline Responds To The Situation
The article cited a passenger stating that they were brought back to their destination around 3 AM which greatly inconvenienced them. The airline said that the reason for diverting the flight to Bengaluru was weather conditions.
They also said that they sincerely regretted the inconvenience that the passengers had to face. Recently, another IndiGo flight had to be delayed for as long as five hours owing to the unruly behaviour of passengers. The flight was headed to Kolkata from Kepegowda International Airport in Bengaluru.
The delay occurred because of a fight that erupted between passengers. Passengers hurled abuses and tossed objects which led to the flight being delayed.
