An IndiGo flight from Lucknow to Mumbai was diverted to Udaipur and the pilot changed before it finally completed the original intended landing. The flight 6E 2441 departed from Lucknow airport at 11:10 am and was scheduled to land in Mumbai at 1:15 pm.
However, the pilot failed to land the passenger aircraft after doing two go-arounds at the Mumbai airport. A report in HT citing sources said that Mumbai ATC diverted the flight due to the gusty winds brought by Cyclone Biparjoy, which is expected to make landfall in Gujarat on Thursday. Earlier this week, operations had to be temporarily halted at the Mumbai airport due to the cyclone.
While the airline claimed the pilot could not land the plane due to bad weather and had to be diverted, the passengers asserted that the pilot aborted two attempts in Mumbai and another in Udaipur before getting the plane safely on the tarmac.
IndiGo was in the news recently when a flight from Amritsar to Ahmedabad inadvertently strayed into Pakistani airspace near Lahore before returning to Indian airspace. As per flight radar data, the Indian plane entered the airspace north of Lahore and proceeded further into Pakistani territory, reaching Gujranwala, before finally returning to Indian airspace.
