Cabin Glitch Hits Third
New Delhi: In a separate incidents, two SpiceJet aircraft returned to their airports of origin shortly after take-off on Sunday with one suffering a bird hit in Patna and the other from Delhi facing a technical glitch that led to a ‘cabin pressurisation issue’. In a third incident, an IndiGo aircraft turned back to Guwahati a few minutes after takeoff due to a bird hit.
All the three incidents will be probed by the aviation safety regulator DGCA.
It is said, on Sunday afternoon, a Delhi-bound Boeing 737-800 operated by the Gurugram-based low-cost airline made an emergency landing in Patna, minutes after take-off from there, after one of its engines suffered a bird hit.
The aircraft was carrying 185 passengers and six crew members.
