IndiGo
At the time of this writing, the IndiGo aircraft is being inspected at the Karachi airport. “IndiGo flight 6E-1406, bound for Hyderabad from Sharjah, was diverted to Karachi.” The pilot noticed a problem with the equipment.
“Necessary procedures were followed, and the aircraft was diverted to Karachi out of caution. The airline announced in its official statement that an additional flight was being sent to Karachi to transport the passengers to Hyderabad.
Later, it was reported that an alternate Indian airline aircraft had arrived at the Karachi airport and was ready to transport passengers after they had completed the necessary formalities.
The fact that an Indian airline had to make an emergency landing at Karachi airport for the second time in two weeks should be noted.
SpiceJet’s Delhi-Dubai flight on July 5 was forced to make a detour to Karachi after the pilots discovered an unusual fuel reduction in one of the aircraft’s fuel tanks. An indicator light was discovered to be broken.
Civil Aviation Authority
The pilot of the IndiGo plane successfully landed the craft at 2:20 am, according to reliable sources within the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
The Airbus 320 aircraft reported a technical problem and is currently being investigated. Nearly 180 passengers were on board; they were safely moved to the transit lounge and given breakfast.
According to the sources, the passengers will take a different flight to Hyderabad Deccan, which is scheduled to land at 3pm.
They reported that the flight departed at 3:24 am and arrived in New Delhi, India, at 5:35 am. The sources claim that this aircraft, which has been in service for three years, made its debut in December of last year.
The CAA spokesperson stated that following the emergency landing at Karachi airport, the passengers of the stranded aircraft were given permission to stay in a lounge. After a 12-hour stay, they boarded another aircraft and took off for Dubai.
The unfit aircraft, however, spent 18 hours in Karachi getting fixed.
