An IndiGo flight from Delhi to Kolkata suffered a “false cargo smoke warning” before landing on Sunday and aviation regulator DGCA will probe the incident.
The flight carrying more than 160 people landed safely at the Calcutta airport.
After arrival at the airport, inspections were carried out in the Airbus aircraft and the “warning was confirmed as spurious”, IndiGo said in a statement on Sunday.
Initially, the pilots of the airline declared ‘May Day’ suspecting smoke in the cargo hold. Later, the ‘May Day’ call was cancelled and the flight landed safely, DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) chief Arun Kumar told PTI.
