IndiGo Flight Sends ‘Mayday’ Alert: On Thursday, IndiGo flight 6E 6764 from Guwahati to Chennai had to be suddenly diverted to Bengaluru. Passengers were wondering what exactly happened? Actually, the pilot issued a ‘fuel mayday’ call, which meant that the plane was low on fuel and needed to land immediately.
Congestion at Chennai airport or something else?
It was initially reported that the plane could not land on time due to the huge crowd at Chennai airport. However, a fact check is necessary here: Sometimes a ‘fuel mayday’ call does not just mean lack of fuel, but also that the plane has fallen short of the required fuel to reach its alternate landing spot. This is a serious situation.
In this incident, there were passengers on board the plane and everyone was holding their breath. Thankfully, the pilot took the right decision at the right time.
