Aircraft glitch forces Delhi-Goa IndiGo flight to declare 'PAN PAN' mid-air
The captain of an IndiGo flight, en route to Goa from Delhi, made an emergency landing at Mumbai airport on Wednesday evening after issuing a 'PAN PAN' call, according to a report by the Hindustan Times. The phrase 'PAN PAN' refers to a radio message used to signal an urgent situation that needs prompt attention but does not pose an immediate threat to life. The Airbus A320neo aircraft, carrying 191 passengers, departed from Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport and was bound for Goa Airport when a mid-air engine complication forced it to make an emergency landing. The plane landed without incident at 9:53 pm in Mumbai. Airport authorities in Mumbai reported that the event occurred approximately 100 nautical miles north of Bhubaneswar. One of the officials was quoted as saying that the pilot had declared "PAN PAN PAN" due to a malfunction in engine number 1. IndiGo, however, attributed the diversion to a technical fault. A company spokesperson stated, 'A technical snag was detected on flight 6E 6271 while flying from Delhi to Manohar International Airport, Goa on 16 July 2025. Following procedures, the aircraft was diverted and landed in Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, Mumbai.' The IndiGo incident occurred just over a month after the Air India crash in Ahmedabad, which resulted in the deaths of all but one of the 242 passengers on board, along with 19 people on the ground. It marked the most severe aviation disaster India has seen in a decade. This tragedy has reignited an ongoing industry debate regarding the implementation of cockpit video recorders to supplement existing cockpit voice and flight data recorders used in crash investigations. Proponents argue that video footage could address gaps left by audio and data logs, while critics express concerns about privacy violations and the potential misuse of such recordings, asserting that the added value to investigations is minimal. Touchdown scare at Patna airport Earlier on July 15, another IndiGo aircraft experienced a moment of tension at Patna's Jayaprakash Narayan International Airport. Flight 6E 2482, which was arriving from Delhi with 173 passengers, momentarily touched down before taking off again. The pilot assessed that there might not be adequate runway remaining for a secure halt and opted to initiate a go-around. The aircraft circled the vicinity briefly before safely landing. According to airport officials, both flight operations and passenger handling continued without disruption.

Patna-Bound IndiGo Flight Aborts Landing, Performs Go-Around Before Safe Touchdown
Last Updated: An IndiGo flight from Delhi to Patna avoided a major accident after an unstable approach forced a go-around at Jay Prakash Narayan Airport. The pilot ensured a safe landing. A Patna-bound IndiGo flight narrowly escaped a major accident after it performed a go-around during its first landing attempt at the city's Jay Prakash Narayan International Airport after the pilot detected an unstable approach. The incident took place on Tuesday around 9 pm when IndiGo flight 6E 2482 travelling from Delhi to Patna narrowly escaped a failed landing attempt. The aircraft with 173 passengers aboard was unable to land in its first attempt due to the short runway and was forced to abort the attempt. As per the reports, the aircraft arrived at Patna airport around 9 pm. However, moments before landing, it took off again, circling three or four times in the air before attempting a second landing. While the landing was successful, the unexpected double landing caused distress among the passengers. The crew members subsequently reassured the passengers that there was no emergency and that the second take-off was due to technical reasons. According to sources, the go-around was a standard safety procedure and was carried out as a precaution. 'It was a normal and safe maneuver. The pilot opted for the go-around to ensure a stable landing approach," a source familiar with the matter said. The eyewitnesses and aviation sources confirmed that the runway, often considered among the more challenging in the country due to its limited length, posed a significant risk during the landing. The pilot's response averted not just a potential crash, but also a collision with the densely populated Polo Road area nearby, which houses several government ministers and senior officials. This incident came just a week after another IndiGo flight, 6E 5009 from Patna to Delhi, returned mid-air following a bird strike on July 9. That aircraft was grounded for maintenance checks, and the flight was cancelled. Passengers were offered a full refund or alternative arrangements, according to the airline. view comments First Published: July 16, 2025, 16:20 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
