Overview

• On July 16, flight 6E-6271 from Delhi to Goa declared a “PAN PAN PAN” urgency signal after detecting an engine failure about 100 nautical miles north of Bhubaneswar and diverted to Mumbai for an emergency landing.
• Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport activated full emergency protocols at 21:35 IST, deploying fire and ambulance services, and lifted the alert 22 minutes later once the Airbus A320neo landed safely.
• All 191 passengers and crew from the diverted aircraft were unharmed and continued to Goa aboard an alternative plane arranged by IndiGo.
• On July 17, flight 6E-5118 bound for Imphal returned to Delhi shortly after takeoff due to a minor technical snag and resumed its journey after routine maintenance checks.
• These consecutive in-flight disruptions have intensified scrutiny of IndiGo’s maintenance practices and prompted regulators to heighten oversight of the airline’s operations.
