New Delhi: An IndiGo airlines flight from Amritsar to Ahmedabad was briefly diverted to Pakistan airspace near Lahore due to bad weather before heading back into Indian airspace after 30 minutes without any mishap, according to media reports on Sunday.
The incident happened around 7.30pm on Saturday when the IndiGo aircraft entered Pakistan airspace north of Lahore. It stayed in the airspace till 8.01pm before returning to Indian airspace from near Gujranwala.
"IndiGo flight 6E-645, operating from Amritsar to Ahmedabad had to take a deviation over Attari into Pakistan airspace due to bad weather. The deviation was well coordinated with Pakistan by Amritsar Air Traffic Control via telephone.
