IndiGo flight to Mangaluru returns to Bengaluru due to poor visibility

BENGALURU: Passengers on board IndiGo flight 6E 6858 from Kempegowda International Airport to Mangaluru had a troubled morning on Monday after the aircraft was forced to return to Bengaluru owing to poor visibility at Mangaluru International Airport.

The flight, originally scheduled to depart at 5.45 am, was delayed by about 45 minutes after the captain received information that low-lying clouds had reduced visibility in Mangaluru. Passengers were informed about the situation after boarding. Following updates of some improvement in weather conditions, the aircraft eventually took off from Bengaluru.
