IndiGo flight from Goa to Hindon Airport diverted to IGIA
An IndiGo flight from Goa, which was scheduled to land at the Hindon Airport in Ghaziabad, was diverted to the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) on Sunday evening. The diversion happened due to a lack of parking spots, according to a source. According to flight tracking website Flightradar24, IndiGo flight 6E2575 was scheduled to depart from Goa at 2:20 pm and land in Ghaziabad at 4:50 pm. The flight took off at 2:33 pm and was diverted to Delhi eventually, as per the website. 'As the flight was approaching to land at Hindon Airport, we were given directions to divert to IGIA due to unavailability of parking,' a source said. Passengers deboarded the plane at IGIA after some confusion. 'When we reached Hindon, the pilot kept flying around the airport for around 45 minutes before taking us to the IGIA, where we eventually landed at Terminal 3,' said Ajay Mishra, a neurosurgeon and a passenger on the plane. 'When we said we wanted to exit the plane, the crew said we will go to Hindon again. That is when the passengers created a ruckus, after which we were allowed to leave the plane,' Mishra said. According to the airline, the aircraft had to take permission from the Hindon airport for another attempt at landing. 'While we awaited clearance from Hindon regarding whether we could return and deboard there, the approval took some time,' the source said. The Indian Express reached out to IndiGo for an official response but could not get a comment. The commercial flight operation was launched at the Hindon Airport in 2019. Air India Express started its operations from the airport in March to five cities. Meanwhile, IndiGo commenced operations from Hindon just last week on July 20, with direct flights to eight cities: Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Indore, Kolkata, Mumbai, Patna, and Varanasi.

IndiGo to add more int'l destinations; to explore new MRO opportunities
IndiGo will continue to add more overseas destinations with A321 XLRs set to join the fleet this fiscal year and aims to increase its international capacity share to 40 per cent by 2030. Also, the country's largest airline plans to explore new opportunities in the MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) space, according to its annual report for 2024-25. IndiGo, which has been flying for over 18 years, has a domestic market share of 64.5 per cent, operates around 2,200 flights daily with more than 430 planes. "We will continue to add more destinations internationally, especially with XLRs coming in along with our newly leased wide body aircraft for long haul operations. From 28 per cent current international capacity share, we are aiming for 40 per cent by FY 2030," IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers said in his message in the annual report. Earlier this month, the carrier started flights to Manchester and Amsterdam that are being operated with Boeing 787 Dreamliners leased from Norway's Norse Atlantic. The long range A321 XLRs and wide-body A350-900s are expected to join the airline's fleet in the current fiscal year ending March 2026, and 2027, respectively. "IndiGo also plans to explore new opportunities in the MRO space as India's infrastructure development is picking up," it said. The airline is setting up an MRO facility in Bengaluru. In the annual report, the airline said its outlook remains promising, supported by a healthy demand environment and firm capacity growth. "While macroeconomic uncertainties and operating headwinds such as aircraft groundings and fuel cost volatility remain, IndiGo continues to proactively manage these challenges through fleet diversification, damp leasing strategies and strategic agreements with OEMs," it said. OEM refers to original equipment manufacturer.
