CHENNAI: In what could be a second such incident in the last 20 days, an Indigo Airlines aircraft 6-E-892 from Coimbatore carrying 168 passengers made an emergency landing at Chennai airport after a fire alarm went off on Wednesday.
The flight made the emergency landing at 10.45 am after the pilot contacted the control room and sought priority landing. An Indigo Airline release said that ‘momentary’ smoke caution alarm went off at the cargo compartment and post-arrival in Chennai it was noted to be spurious.
The flight made a safe landing and all the passengers and crew members on board were safe, airport officials said. The full emergency was withheld at 11.35 am, sources added.
