An Indigo flight from Chandigarh carrying 144 passengers had to make an emergency landing at the city airport on Friday on its arrival due to engine issue, a source said.
The flight, however, landed safely, he said.
The airline confirmed the incident but said the captain received “precautionary warning” about one of the engines and sought priority landing.
“Full emergency was declared for Indigo flight 6E463 operating on the Chandigarh-Mumbai route at 4.28 pm. The flight landed safely at 4.44 pm on runway 27 and was fully parked. The full emergency was withdrawn at 4.47 pm,” an ATC officer said.
