A city-bound GoAir flight from Mumbai with 183 people on board made an emergency landing here on Tuesday following engine trouble. No one was hurt.
The aircraft, an Airbus A320 Neo, landed safely, GoAir said.
This is the second incident involving a GoAir flight, where the plane had to make an emergency landing due to engine trouble.
According to GoAir, the captain of its flight G8-329 from Mumbai to Delhi had sought priority landing from the Air Control Tower.
“Due to a technical snag in the air bleed system, the flight commander had to reduce the power of the left engine and he asked for emergency assistance during landing,” the airline said.
After an initial inspection, the engine problem was being rectified by replacing a (engine) component, GoAir officials said. The aircraft will be cleared for operations after necessary ground checks, it said.
On February 8, a Bengaluru-bound flight, carrying at least 190 people, had made an emergency landing at the Delhi airport due to technical issues.
