Overview

• Flight SG937, a Boeing 737-800 (registration VT-SLG), turned back to Pune shortly after departure when a flap-transit light illuminated.
• The crew completed required checks under standard operating procedures before electing to return, and the aircraft landed safely with normal deplaning.
• SpiceJet said affected passengers were accommodated on alternate flights or offered full refunds.
• Some outlets reported the landing was under “full emergency conditions,” while a SpiceJet spokesperson later stated it was not an emergency landing.
• Flight-tracking data showed a roughly 40-minute delayed departure for the 6 am service, with reports of a return about an hour after takeoff, and an expert noted a persistent flap light can indicate flaps have not retracted.
