In a mid-air scare on Friday morning, an IndiGo flight en route to Madurai had to turn back to Chennai just 30 minutes after takeoff following a technical issue. The flight, which took off from Chennai International Airport at around 7:55 AM, was carrying more than 60 passengers, reported India Today. Not long after departure, the crew noticed a technical snag and, prioritising safety, made the call to return to base.
The aircraft landed safely back in Chennai, with all passengers unharmed. Swift action by the airline and airport authorities ensured a smooth response and another aircraft was quickly arranged to resume the journey to Madurai without any major delay.
