An IndiGo Boeing 787-9 flight operating from London Heathrow to Delhi turns back shortly after takeoff and lands safely back at Heathrow. Multiple outlets report that the aircraft is in the air for about an hour before returning, with the incident occurring shortly after departure around 12:40am IST.
The flights are identified as IndiGo 6E4. Business Line and NDTV describe the event as a “tech issue” or “technical snag,” while Times of India also notes that no official details have been provided publicly by IndiGo. Times of India adds that information such as the number of passengers on board and the specific cause of the problem is not clear, and it reports that IndiGo has not released an official statement. Across reports, the consistent point is that the aircraft lands safely back at Heathrow, with the underlying technical issue not specified in the available coverage.
