An IndiGo flight from Medina to Hyderabad was diverted to Ahmedabad following a bomb threat on board, carrying 180 passengers and 6 crew members. Security teams conducted thorough checks, and no explosive was found. This comes days after another Indigo flight faced a similar threat.
IndiGo Airlines faces a major operational crisis as over 200 flights are canceled across India due to technical issues, staff shortages, and new DGCA rules. Passengers in cities like Bengaluru, Delhi, and Hyderabad face long delays and cancellations.
Over 350 Airbus A320-family aircraft operated by IndiGo and Air India in India will be grounded for up to 23 days for a mandatory global software and hardware upgrade after a serious JetBlue A320 incident. With nearly 6,000 aircraft affected worldwide, airlines have issued travel advisories warning passengers of delays and schedule disruptions.
The initial investigation suggests that bad weather caused the incident. Fortunately, no passengers or crew members were injured during this event.
Retired IAS officer Amitabh Kant (KL:80) has chosen a private sector role after his government service, joining IndiGo as a Non-Executive Director. Formerly India’s G20 Sherpa and CEO of NITI Aayog, Kant was instrumental in key national initiatives like the Aspirational Districts Programme, Digital India, and the Green Hydrogen Mission.
