An IndiGo Airbus A320 neo flight from Mumbai had a close call at Chennai airport on Saturday during Cyclone Fengal. A viral video showed the plane aborting landing as extreme weather forced a "go-around," with its wheels inches from the ground. IndiGo confirmed the manoeuvre followed safety protocols to ensure passenger safety. Cyclone Fengal brought heavy rains, flooding coastal Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. Chennai airport suspended operations till 4 a.m. Sunday, causing widespread flight delays and cancellations. Relief efforts by the Indian Army and NDRF began post-landfall, as Cyclone Fengal weakened into a deep depression by Sunday morning.
