IndiGo Agartala-Delhi flight diverted, 109 safe
An IndiGo flight from Agartala to Delhi was forced to make an emergency landing in Lucknow on Tuesday evening due to a smoke alert in the aircraft's cargo hold. Emergency teams were swiftly deployed at Lucknow airport as a precautionary measure. The flight, carrying 103 passengers and six crew members, landed safely at 6:29 PM. All individuals on board deboarded without any further issues.
This incident follows a similar event a few days earlier when an Air India Express flight also made an emergency landing at Lucknow after detecting smoke in its cargo compartment. In March, another Delhi-bound Air India Express flight faced a premature landing at Lucknow due to suspected smoke inside the cabin, but all passengers and crew disembarked safely.
