An IndiGo flight en route from Delhi to Goa experienced an in-flight engine failure, prompting an emergency landing in Mumbai on Wednesday night. The incident unfolded when the Airbus A320neo encountered a technical snag that necessitated immediate diversion to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport.

According to a spokesperson from IndiGo, flight 6E-6271 reported the engine issue, leading to a full emergency declaration at 9:35 p.m. Upon landing safely at 9:52 p.m., passengers were swiftly deboarded and attended to by airport personnel.
