Following low clouds and poor visibility, the Bengaluru-Hubballi flight, operated by Indigo, returned to Bengaluru. However, after the weather improved, the flight flew back to Hubballi at 10.50 am Tuesday morning.
Indigo operates an ATR flight between Bengaluru and Hubballi, which departs Bengaluru at 5:55 am, and arrives at Hubballi at 7:20 am.
On Tuesday, the flight departed Bengaluru at 6:06 am and arrived in Hubballi at around 7:00 am.
However, following scattered low clouds and poor visibility, the flight could not land at the Hubballi airport, hence, it circled around the city for nearly 35 minutes, and returned to Bengaluru for refuelling.
