IndiGo's Ahmedabad - Diu flight aborts take-off after detecting technical snag; airline offers full refund to passengers
Budget carrier IndiGo's Ahmedabad to Diu flight, with 50 passengers on board, aborted its take-off on Wednesday due to a 'technical snag' in the aircraft. According to an official statement from IndiGo, the pilots noticed a technical indication during pre-departure checks and promptly alerted the concerned authorities. The aircraft was then brought back to the bay for further inspection. As per the schedule, the flight from Ahmedabad to Diu was supposed to depart at around 11.15 am from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. According to an airport official, the IndiGo flight to Diu has been cancelled due to some technical issues. "When the aircraft began its take-off roll, the pilots took a decision to abort the take-off due to some technical reasons. The flight stands cancelled. All the 50-odd passengers and crew members are safe," a source was quoted as saying by news agency PTI. The flight, 6E7966, was halted as a precautionary measure following standard operating procedures. IndiGo expressed regret over the inconvenience caused to passengers and assured that all efforts are being made to minimise disruption. 'We are offering refreshments, accommodation in the next available flight, or a full refund against cancellation, as per their preference,' the statement read. The airline also reiterated that the safety of its customers and crew remains its highest priority. IndiGo made headlines on Monday for two similar incidents involving technical snags. An IndiGo flight operating from Goa International Airport (Dabolim) to Indore encountered a technical issue just before landing. In another incident, a separate IndiGo aircraft with 140 passengers on board made an emergency landing at Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport in Indore on Monday evening following a technical alert related to its landing gear, officials said. Airport Director Vipinkant Seth stated that IndiGo Airlines flight 6E 813 from Goa received an undercarriage warning, indicating a possible issue with its landing gear. As a precaution, the aircraft remained airborne for approximately 25 minutes before landing. "Due to this warning, the aircraft landed under emergency conditions at the Indore airport. The crew and all passengers are completely safe,' he had stated.

IndiGo flight with 140 passengers on board makes emergency landing in Indore
Indore: IndiGo Airlines faced back-to-back technical challenges this week, raising fresh concerns over the operational reliability of its Airbus A321neo fleet. Flight 6E 813 operating from Goa to Indore was forced to make an emergency landing on Monday, after a suspected hydraulic malfunction in its wheel system triggered an undercarriage warning mid-air. The aircraft departed Goa's Dabolim Airport at 3:14 p.m. and was approaching Indore when the pilot alerted Air Traffic Control about the irregular hydraulic response linked to the landing gear. As a precaution, the plane circled Indore's airspace seven to eight times while emergency response units were mobilised on the ground. Fire brigades, medical teams, and airport officials were deployed along the runway, anticipating a potentially hazardous landing. The aircraft touched down safely at 5:08 p.m., with all 140 passengers and crew members reported unharmed. This marks the second such scare within 24 hours for the carrier. On Sunday evening, flight 6E 6591 from Tirupati to Hyderabad encountered a separate technical snag shortly after take-off. According to flight tracking data from FlightRadar24, the plane left Tirupati Airport at 7:42 p.m., but was forced to circle overhead before landing back at 8:34 p.m. That flight, also an A321neo and the last scheduled service from Tirupati to Hyderabad for the day, was cancelled. IndiGo has yet to offer a comprehensive statement regarding either incident. Aviation sources suggest both were precautionary manoeuvres prompted by cockpit alerts, not structural failures. However, the proximity of two mechanical alerts involving the same aircraft model has drawn attention from civil aviation authorities, who are expected to initiate a review of maintenance protocols and alert response strategies. Passengers on both flights have expressed relief over the crew's handling of the situations, while aviation observers await official explanations from the airline and regulators regarding any underlying causes or patterns behind the sudden malfunctions.
