New Delhi: An IndiGo flight from Lucknow to Mumbai was diverted to Udaipur. What is more, the pilot was changed before it finally completed the original intended landing. Flight 6E 2441 departed from Lucknow airport at 11:10 am and was scheduled to land in Mumbai at 1:15 pm.
However, the pilot failed to land the passenger aircraft after doing two go-arounds at the Mumbai airport, HT reported quoting sources, adding that Mumbai ATC diverted the flight due to the gusty winds brought by Cyclone Biparjoy, which is expected to make landfall in Gujarat on Thursday. Earlier this week, operations had to be temporarily halted at the Mumbai airport due to the cyclone.
“Flight Indigo 6E 2441 (Lko to Mumbai) not able to land in Mumbai due to poor management of Indigo Team. There are chances either Airbus malfunctioned or pilot not able to handle…Intervention needed,” tweeted one passenger.
Meanwhile, IndiGo said the pilot was replaced, not due to pressure from the passengers but because he was fatigued.
“Due to bad weather, the pilot could not land in Mumbai and decided to go to Udaipur… After landing in Udaipur, he said he was fatigued and hence asked for crew replacement. This took some time and the flight left after 6 pm.”
In the end, the aeroplane landed in Mumbai around 8 pm.
