BENGALURU: An IndiGo flight heading from Udaipur in Rajasthan to Bengaluru was held back at the runway of the Maharana Pratap airport just before take-off as the Air Traffic Control Unit suspected smoke to be emanating from the power cabin of the tail of the flight. The pilot took the plane (6E-979) back to the bay and investigations revealed it to be a false alarm.
The plane, an Airbus A320neo, which was supposed to take off at 1.20 pm, finally took off at 3.20 pm after a two-hour delay at Udaipur airport. It reached Kempegowda International Airport at 5.37 pm.
