Officials said no passengers or crew members reported injuries, and emergency response teams were on standby to handle the aircraft's return. “A full emergency was declared at the airport at 9.25am after the pilot alerted air traffic control (ATC) about the suspected engine failure and requested an emergency landing,” an official said.
In a statement, IndiGo said the aircraft was undergoing maintenance checks. It added that the standard operating procedure was followed after a technical issue was detected shortly after takeoff. “...the relevant authorities were informed, and the pilots turned back and landed the aircraft safely at Manohar International Airport.”
