IndiGo Boeing 737 from Vizag diverted to Delhi after an engine issue; all 160 aboard are safe at IGI Airport.
A Delhi-bound IndiGo flight, 6E 579, originating from Visakhapatnam International Airport, made an emergency landing at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi on Saturday morning after a mid-air technical glitch affected one engine. The Boeing 737 was carrying 160 passengers and crew when pilots reported the issue and requested an immediate landing.
The crew coordinated with air traffic control to divert to Delhi, selecting IGI Airport as the safest option to ensure a swift and orderly landing. The aircraft touched down without incident and was brought to a stop on a runway where ground crews were ready to assist. All 160 people on board were reported safe following the arrival, and passengers were assisted by airport staff as they disembarked.
Investigations into the cause of the engine anomaly are expected to be launched by the airline alongside aviation authorities. Maintenance teams will review the affected engine and related systems, and passengers will likely be offered standard assistance and, where applicable, accommodations or rebooking options. The incident serves as a reminder of the strict safety protocols that govern air travel, and the priority given to passenger safety during in-flight emergencies.
