IndiGo Flight's Dramatic Emergency Landing In Karachi, Find Out The Reason Here!
On Wednesday (November 24), an IndiGo flight from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to Hyderabad, India, made an emergency landing in Karachi, Pakistan.
What happened on the flight?
The airline, which reported the event on Thursday, stated that the emergency landing was required due to a medical emergency on board.
Despite swift changes to land in another nation, the passenger did not survive and was certified dead on arrival.
Why did the flight have to land in Pakistan?
"A medical emergency occurred on board IndiGo flight 6E 68, which was flying from Jeddah to Hyderabad." The flight was redirected to?Karachi, where the passenger was treated by a doctor upon arrival," the airline stated in a statement.
"Unfortunately, the passenger did not survive and was declared dead on arrival," the statement stated. Following a brief delay in Karachi and the completion of the necessary formalities, the aircraft departed the city at 0908 IST.
How was the situation handled?
In August, an IndiGo pilot named Captain Manoj Subramanyam fell and died at Nagpur Airport's boarding gate, just as he was about to board an aircraft bound for Pune.
Following the event, IndiGo issued a statement and expressed sympathies to the deceased's family. "We are deeply saddened by the death of one of our pilots in Nagpur earlier today."?
He became ill at Nagpur airport and was transported to the hospital, where he tragically died. "Our hearts go out to his family and loved ones." Despite the pilot's death, the IndiGo flight took off at 1:24 p.m., 14 minutes later than scheduled.?
When has it happened before?
This is not the first time an Indian plane has had to make an emergency landing in Pakistan. In July of this year, at least two planes from IndiGo and Spicejet landed in Karachi.?
The Spicejet flight from Dubai to Delhi was forced to land in Karachi due to a fuel shortage. Following the emergency landing, it was discovered that the problem was caused by a faulty fuel indication light in the cockpit.?
?Meanwhile, IndiGo aircraft 6E-1406 from Sharjah to Hyderabad developed a mechanical problem and was diverted to Karachi as a precaution.?
