Ahmedabad-Diu IndiGo Flight Aborts Take-Off Due To Technical Snag
Ahmedabad: A Diu-bound IndiGo flight from Ahmedabad carrying around 50 passengers and crew members aborted take-off at the last minute on Wednesday due to a technical issue, sources said. As per the schedule, the flight was supposed to depart around 11.15 am from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, they said. The aircraft was in the take-off roll phase when the pilot decided to stop it on the runway. "A technical snag indication was noticed just before the take-off on IndiGo flight 6E7966 operating from Ahmedabad to Diu on July 23," IndiGo said in a statement. Following the standard operating procedure, the pilots informed the authorities and returned the aircraft to bay, it said. The aircraft will undergo necessary checks and maintenance before resuming operations, it said. The airline also said it will accommodate the passengers in the next available flight or will provide a full refund against cancellation, as per their preference. An airport official said the IndiGo flight was cancelled due to some technical issues. "When the aircraft began its take-off roll, the pilots took a decision to stop it due to some technical reasons," a source said. All the 50-odd passengers and crew members are safe, he said. This is the third incident involving an IndiGo aircraft in the last few days. On July 21, an IndiGo flight from Goa with 140 passengers on board made an emergency landing at the Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport in Madhya Pradesh's Indore due to a landing gear issue. Prior to that on July 17, a Goa-bound IndiGo flight from Delhi made an emergency landing in Mumbai after being diverted to it due to a mid-air engine failure. The flight was being operated with an Airbus A320neo aircraft. On June 12, an Air India flight to London Gatwick crashed within seconds of its take-off from the Ahmedabad airport, killing 241 of the 242 passengers and crew members on board and 19 persons on ground.

From Bhuj to almost Goa: Teen's 95L heist adventure crashlands
Ahmedabad: A hotel stay, parties in Goa, and a few days away from home — a seemingly harmless plan most teenagers make with their friends. Only, this one wasn't. A 17-year-old from Bhuj orchestrated an audacious heist, allegedly stealing Rs 95 lakh from his home for a lavish vacation with his 18-year-old friend. However, the Ahmedabad crime branch ended their extravagant adventure before it could begin. Both teenagers were intercepted at Ahmedabad's Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport around 10pm on Monday, mere moments before they were to board a flight to Kolkata after a change in plans. According to police, the pals travelled to Ahmedabad and checked into a hotel, but fearing detection, cancelled their original Goa-bound tickets in favour of a more circuitous route through Kolkata.

Meanwhile, the boy's frantic family's missing person report on Saturday set off a chain of urgent communications between Bhuj A Division police and the Ahmedabad crime branch. In a race against time, investigators pieced together crucial intelligence from travel agents and hotel staff, to close in on their targets. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo By the time the crime branch team reached the hotel, the friends had already left for the airport. Acting swiftly, police reached the airport and identified the suspects through flight records. Luggage check-in counters had closed, forcing the cops to halt the boarding process. The teenagers were handed over to Bhuj police. A senior crime branch officer said, "The 17-year-old boy's father died recently and had left an immense amount of money at home. The boy stole a big chunk from that money which he wanted to use for fun in Goa. But rather than going to Goa directly, he decided to first go to Kolkata from where he was supposed to travel to Goa with his friend. But before that, he was caught."
