On September 19, an IndiGo flight operating from Mumbai to Phuket was diverted to Chennai due to a security threat onboard.
In a statement, IndiGo officials said, “IndiGo flight 6E 1089, operating from Mumbai to Phuket on 19 September 2025, was diverted to Chennai due to a security threat noticed onboard.”
“As per the established protocol, relevant authorities were informed immediately, and the flight will undergo necessary security checks in Chennai,” it mentioned.
Earlier, on September 14, IndiGo flight 6E-2111, operating from Lucknow to Delhi, experienced a technical snag just before take-off and was brought back to the bay, news agency ANI quoted sources as saying.
Following the technical snag, as a precautionary measure, the aircraft was brought back to the bay, and all passengers were safely disembarked. Subsequently, the airline arranged another aircraft to ensure the passengers could continue their journey to Delhi.
In another incident, more than 100 passengers on a Kathmandu-bound SpiceJet flight faced major inconvenience at the Delhi airport after the aircraft developed a technical snag, forcing them to deplane.
According to the reports, SpiceJet flight SG41 was scheduled to depart at 8.10 am, but was first delayed to 9.30 am, and was briefly taxied on the runway without any communication from the crew.
