NEW DELHI: Budget carrier IndiGo’s Delhi-Mumbai flight had to perform a mid-air “turn back” manoeuvre due to excessive vibration from the aircraft’s engine number two, industry insiders privy to the development said on Friday.
However, an airline official said that the aircraft had suffered a bird hit en-route from Delhi to Mumbai on Wednesday.
The A320 NEO aircraft operated by IndiGo has faced a series of problems earlier with engine vibration being one of them.
Industry sources said that at least 15 cases of mid-air engine problems have been reported in the A320 NEOs operated by IndiGo and GoAir since January.
