An IndiGo flight en route to Goa from Delhi faced a mid-air emergency due to engine failure, leading to an unscheduled landing in Mumbai. Sources indicate the airbus touched down safely at 9.52 pm.

The airline, in a statement, attributed the unexpected diversion to a technical issue with the Airbus A320neo. The full emergency was declared for flight 6E-6271 when one of the engines failed, prompting the reroute to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport.

Efforts are underway for comprehensive checks and maintenance on the original aircraft. Meanwhile, an alternative flight was promptly organized to transport stranded passengers to their intended destination without further delay.
