New Delhi, September 3, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
An IndiGo flight from Doha to Bengaluru was safely diverted to Muscat on Thursday after the pilot-in-command reported feeling unwell and required immediate medical attention.
IndiGo Flight 6E 1302 was diverted to Muscat due to an urgent medical requirement involving one of the operating crew members. After landing, the pilot was attended to by a medical team and later taken to a hospital. The airline said the crew member was subsequently found to be in good health.
IndiGo arranged an alternate aircraft from Bengaluru along with a fresh set of crew members to enable passengers to continue their journey to Bengaluru.
The airline said refreshments were being provided to passengers waiting in Muscat, while regular updates were being shared regarding the onward journey.
“We regret the inconvenience caused to our customers and are making all efforts to minimise it, including offering refreshments and timely updates as they wait for the aircraft at Muscat. The safety of our customers, crew, and aircraft remains our top priority at IndiGo,” the airline said.
The incident comes amid recent technical issues affecting IndiGo’s online services. The airline’s website faced disruptions last month, with some passengers reporting difficulties booking flights, completing web check-in and accessing other online services. Some users also reported problems logging into the airline’s mobile application.
IndiGo had acknowledged those issues through a service advisory, saying it was experiencing intermittent problems with its core reservation platform that could affect customers’ access to online services.
