IndiGo Flight Engine Develops Snag At Goa Airport, Navy Team Rescues Passengers

As the engine snag was detected, a Navy team was called in to help rescue the passengers, said Goa airport director.

The right engine of a Mumbai-bound IndiGo aircraft, which had 187 passengers on board, developed a snag at Goa Airport on Tuesday while proceeding to the runway, PTI reported. As the engine snag was detected, a Navy team was called in to help rescue the passengers.

The aircraft was taken to the taxi bay by the Navy teams for necessary inspection. The Goa airport is a part of the Navy's INS Hansa base.

Passengers will be accommodated on another flight to Mumbai, ANI reported.

"Right engine of Mumbai-bound IndiGo aircraft develops snag at Goa Airport while proceeding to the runway, passengers disembark with help of Navy rescue team," Goa airport director, SVT Dhananjaya Rao, said.

In the past few months, there have been several instances of technical malfunction involving various airlines.

The incident comes two days after a Kolkata-bound IndiGo flight from Delhi suffered a "false cargo smoke warning". The aircraft, carrying more than 160 people, landed safely at the airport.

Aviation regulator DGCA said it would probe the incident.

The pilots of the flight had declared 'May Day' suspecting smoke in the cargo hold. Later, the 'May Day' call was cancelled and the flight landed safely, PTI reported.

A 'May Day' call is made when there is distress and once it is declared, preparations for emergency landing of the flight are done at the airport.

After the flight's arrival at the airport, inspections were carried out in the aircraft and the "warning was confirmed as spurious", IndiGo said in a statement.

Earlier this month, a car belonging to Go First airline went under a parked IndiGo A320 Neo aircraft in Delhi airport, narrowly avoiding collision with the plane's nose wheel. An enquiry has also been initiated into the incident by DGCA.

On July 29, an IndiGo plane from Assam's Jorhat to Kolkata skidded off the runway during take off, and a pair of its wheels got stuck in the muddy outfield, leading to the flight being cancelled.
