Passengers onboard an Indigo flight from Pune experienced tense moments after the aircraft was unable to land in Hyderabad because of unfavourable weather conditions. The flight, which was headed to Shamshabad airport, remained in the air for an extended period before pilots decided to divert it to Gannavaram Airport in Andhra Pradesh.
According to reports, the aircraft continued circling over the Hyderabad airspace while authorities monitored weather conditions around the airport. Since visibility and landing conditions reportedly did not improve, the crew chose an alternate airport to ensure passenger safety.
People travelling on the flight were said to be worried as the uncertainty over landing continued for a long time. Many passengers reportedly became anxious during the extended time spent in the air before the diversion announcement was made.
The situation finally settled after the aircraft landed safely at Gannavaram Airport in Krishna district. Airport officials later kept the plane stationed on the runway for nearly two hours while further arrangements and clearances were completed.
Despite the tense situation, all passengers and crew members remained safe, and the flight diversion was carried out as a precautionary safety measure because of the unstable weather near Hyderabad airport.
