BENGALURU: An IndiGo flight operating on the Guwahati-Chennai route made an emergency landing at Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru on the night of June 19 after pilots issued a 'Mayday' alert as it "ran out of fuel," officials said.
"The incident occurred on June 19. The flight was scheduled to arrive in Chennai at about 7:45 pm, but due to bad weather in Chennai, it could not land. The pilot opted to divert the flight to Bengaluru, but realised they ran out of fuel. So, he alerted the airport with a Mayday call," an IndiGo spokesperson said in a statement.
The incident, which came to light belatedly, unfolded when the aircraft's crew reported a serious technical snag mid-air.
