NEW DELHI: An IndiGo Delhi-Chennai flight safely retuned to Indira Gandhi International Airport within an hour of take-off on Saturday night following an engine failure.
The aircraft, an Airbus A321neo, had taken off at 9.46pm as 6E-2789 with over 230 people on-board. A little later the aircraft reportedly suffered an engine failure. Twin engine jets can land safely on one engine and this one did so by returning to Delhi where it made a safe emergency landing at 10.39pm. Comments have been sought from IndiGo and are awaited.
