An IndiGo flight from Delhi to Imphal in Manipur was forced to return to the national capital shortly after take-off Thursday due to a minor technical issue, the airline said in a statement. Flight 6E 5118, which departed Delhi at 10.34 am against its scheduled departure time of 10.25 am, was diverted, and landed safely at the Indira Gandhi International Airport. 'A minor technical snag was detected soon after take-off on flight 6E 5118 operating from Delhi to Imphal on 17 July 2025. As a precautionary step, the pilots decided to turn back and landed safely at Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi,' an IndiGo spokesperson said. The airline added that, in accordance with standard operating procedures, the aircraft underwent necessary checks before it was cleared for operation. 'The inconvenience caused to our customers is regretted. As always, safety and security of the customers, crew and aircraft is of utmost importance to us,' the statement read. According to the live flight tracking website Flightradar24, the plane, which was bound for Imphal with a scheduled arrival time of 1.10 pm, is an Airbus A321neo aircraft.
