Vistara Amritsar-bound flight returns safely to Delhi following technical snag
NEW DELHI: A Vistara Airbus 320 with 152 people on board returned safely to Delhi on Thursday shortly after taking off for Amritsar due to a technical snag in the aircraft. The A320neo (VT-TNI) was operating as UK-697 when pilots got an alert for a hydraulic snag (yellow low level indication). As a precautionary measure they decided to return to Delhi — the airline’s engineering base where rectification will be swifter — than to continue operating to nearby Amritsar. The plane landed safely at IGI Airport.
A Vistara spokesperson said: “A technical snag was detected on Vistara flight UK 697 operating Delhi to Amritsar on February 17, 2022. As a precautionary step, the pilots decided to turn back and landed safely at IGI Airport.
