IndiGo Pune-Guwahati Flight Makes Emergency Landing After Landing Gear Glitch

An IndiGo flight from Pune to Guwahati, carrying 192 people, made an emergency landing at Pune Airport on Sunday after developing a technical issue with its landing gear shortly after take-off.

Flight 6E 0623 (VT-IZE) landed safely at 9:04 am after its landing gear reportedly failed to retract and remained extended. All passengers and crew members were safe.

Following the pilot’s alert, airport authorities coordinated with Air Traffic Control, IndiGo and other agencies. The Indian Air Force declared a Full Emergency, placing fire services, ambulances and emergency response teams on high alert.

As a precaution, the aircraft made a low pass over the runway to allow officials to visually assess the landing gear before landing. It was later escorted to Bay No. 7 by three fire-fighting vehicles and two ambulances.

The Full Emergency was withdrawn at 9:10 am after officials confirmed that the aircraft had landed safely. IndiGo is arranging an alternate aircraft from Bengaluru to transport the stranded passengers to Guwahati.
