Nagpur: The Pune-Nagpur IndiGo flight which was supposed to take off at 1pm on Monday was delayed by over three hours due to a snag in the engine, causing inconvenience to the passengers.
Sources at city airport said that the pilot detected snag about an hour before the take-off. He requested Mihan India Limited (MIL) authorities, which operates the airport, to stop boarding and settle the passengers in lounge.
The technical team rectified the snag, but it took time to fly as the pilot had to take permissions from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and airport authorities.
IndiGo did not issue any statement on the delay.
Sources said IndiGo officials took care of the passengers at the lounge. Earlier, rumours flew fast that the Airbus aircraft was hit by a bird, but airport officials clarified it was technical snag that led to the delay.
