IndiGo Flight Bound For Srinagar-Jammu Diverted To Pakistan Airspace Due To Weather Conditions Returns To Amritsar

A Srinagar-Jammu bound IndiGo flight landed safely at Amritsar airport after it was earlier forced to enter Pakistan’s airspace briefly due to bad weather.

An IndiGo flight scheduled for Srinagar-Jammu had to divert to Pakistan's airspace on Sunday due to unfavourable weather conditions, according to the airline. An airline official told the news agency ANI that the relevant authorities in both countries were informed prior to the flight entering Pakistan airspace. The aircraft later landed safely in Amritsar after briefly traversing Pakistani airspace. The incident was efficiently coordinated by air traffic control (ATC) in Jammu and Lahore.

An airline spokesperson provided further clarification, stating, "IndiGo 6e-2124 briefly entered Pakistan airspace due to adverse weather conditions, and the flight was subsequently diverted to Amritsar."

In a separate earlier incident, an IndiGo flight from Amritsar to Ahmedabad also entered Pakistani airspace due to adverse weather conditions. IndiGo issued a statement, as quoted by ANI, saying, "IndiGo flight 6E-645, operating from Amritsar to Ahmedabad, had to deviate into Pakistan airspace over Atari due to inclement weather."

The airline emphasized that the deviation was properly coordinated with Pakistan through communication with the Amritsar ATC. The statement further noted, "The flight crew maintained continuous radio contact with Pakistan, and the flight safely landed in Ahmedabad after the deviation."
