Flight makes precautionary landing in Nagpur


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.
