Mumbai-Bound IndiGo Flight Delayed Over 4 Hours Due To Flat Tyre At Jabalpur Airport
A Mumbai-bound IndiGo aircraft at Dumna airport in Jabalpur was delayed over four hours due to a flat tyre. Passengers were rerouted via Bengaluru and Delhi.
A Mumbai-bound IndiGo aircraft developed a flat tyre in the apron of the Dumna airport in Jabalpur on Monday, delaying its take-off by more than four hours, an airport official said.
The IndiGo plane was to return to Mumbai at 12.40 pm, but was delayed due to a tyre problem.
Most of the passengers of the stranded flight were later flown to their destination via Bengaluru and Delhi after a replacement tyre was flown in from Delhi, he said.
IndiGo spokesperson could not be contacted for comments.
The IndiGo flight arrived at the Dumna airport from Mumbai at noon. One of the tyres of the aircraft deflated while it was parked in the apron after the passengers had alighted safely, Dumna Airport Director Rajeev Ratan Pandey told news agency PTI over the phone.
The delayed flight with some passengers onboard returned to Mumbai at 5.30 pm after the rear tyre was replaced, the director said.

Last Updated: The disruption was triggered by a small aircraft that was forced to make an emergency landing at approximately 1:40 pm local time. An accident at Birmingham Airport in the United Kingdom on Wednesday afternoon led to the temporary shutdown of the runway until at least 8:00 pm local time.

Uttarakhand cloudburst: Missing 28-member Kerala tourist group safe
Last Updated: Kochi, Aug 6 (PTI) A 28-member group of tourists, natives of Kerala, who had gone missing after a cloudburst triggered massive mudslides in Uttarakhand, are safe now, family members said on Wednesday. A relative of a Kochi-based couple, who were part of the tour group, told reporters here that Defence sources informed them that all 28 tourists were safe. 'The latest information we received from Defence sources was that they are safe, but are still stuck in the bus and cannot go anywhere. Majority of them are above 55 years of age. Even Army personnel are unable to reach where their bus is located," the relative, Ambili N Nair, told reporters. She said that even the Malayalam Samajam in Uttarakhand confirmed that the tourists were safe but stranded. Of the 28 individuals, 20 are reportedly from Kerala settled in Maharashtra, while the remaining eight are from various districts in Kerala, Ambili told the media in the morning. She said the couple's son last spoke to them a day ago. 'They said they were leaving from Uttarkashi to Gangotri at around 8.30 am that day. The landslides occurred along that route. We have been unable to contact them since they left," she had said. She said that the Haridwar-based travel agency, which arranged the 10-day Uttarakhand tour, was also unable to provide any update on the group's whereabouts. 'Their phones may have run out of battery by now. There is no mobile network in that region currently," she said. At least four people have been confirmed dead in the disaster that struck Dharali, an ecologically fragile region in Uttarakhand, following the cloudburst on Tuesday afternoon. Officials said nearly half of Dharali was buried under a massive mudslide of slush, debris, and water. The village is a key stop on the route to Gangotri, the origin of the Ganga, and hosts several hotels and homestays.
