NEW DELHI: A Delhi-bound IndiGo flight from Mumbai was delayed after one of its pilots reportedly fell unconscious inside the cockpit just before take-off, with a suspected food allergy cited as the cause.
The incident occurred last Saturday (September 6) on flight 6E 6827, scheduled to depart from Terminal 2 of Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport at 11.15 a.m. Sources said the pilot began profusely sweating and collapsed moments before departure. He was rushed to a hospital, where multiple tests, including an electrocardiogram, confirmed his heart condition was normal.
