A Lucknow-bound IndiGo flight from Chandigarh was cancelled on Sunday after the pilot detected a technical snag during pre-flight checks, reported ANI, citing sources. The passengers of the flight that was scheduled to take off from Chandigarh were deplaned safely.

“The issue was identified prior to departure, and the aircraft did not proceed with takeoff. The affected passengers were either accommodated on alternate flights or offered a full refund," according to the ANI sources.

This comes only a few days after an IndiGo flight from Guwahati to Chennai was forced to divert to Bengaluru after the pilot issued a ‘fuel mayday’ call due to insufficient fuel in the plane.

The incident reportedly took place on Thursday.

According to ANI sources, the diversion was necessary as Chennai airport was facing heavy air traffic.

“The diversion occurred because of congestion at Chennai airport, which prevented the aircraft from landing there in time. Passengers were on board during the emergency reroute," they said.

The aircraft landed safely at Bengaluru airport at 8:15 PM, where arrangements were made to ensure passengers’ comfort during the unscheduled stop.

“During the refuelling process, passengers were provided refreshments, and their baggage was offloaded. Due to Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL), the airline had to arrange for a fresh crew," sources added. The flight resumed its journey and subsequently departed for Chennai at 10:24 PM.
