A Hyderabad-Delhi
IndiGo flight with 114 passengers made a precautionary landing at the Nagpur
airport on Wednesday following an indication of engine vibration. All the
passengers were safely deplaned. “Flight 6E308 was diverted to Nagpur today
[Wednesday] morning. IndiGo Captain-In-Command received an engine vibration
indication in the cockpit, though it had more than a normal vibration. Owing to
this indication, Captain-in-Command decided to land at the Nagpur airport for
an immediate inspection of the aircraft. The landing was a precautionary
measure. Our checks show that it was possibly a false indication and no
discrepancy has been found on the engine. The suspected vibration transmitter
is being replaced,” an airline statement said.
The airport said no
emergency was declared on the IndiGo flight. “The flight was only diverted due
to some technical snag,” an official said. The passengers were flown to Delhi
by 3 p.m. on another IndiGo flight.
