IndiGo flight 6E‑6764 from Guwahati to Chennai, carrying 168–170 passengers, departed around 4:40 pm IST. Shortly after entering Chennai airspace near its scheduled arrival at 7:45 pm, the captain issued a “Mayday” due to critically low fuel. Instead of landing in Chennai, the Airbus A321 crew diverted to Bengaluru’s Kempegowda Airport, touching down safely around 8 pm. No injuries were reported, and passengers awaited refuelling before continuing. This emergency arose just a week after Air India’s Dreamliner crash on June 12, intensifying scrutiny of flight safety. The Civil Aviation Ministry promptly launched a review of in‑flight fuel protocols and crew rostering. (PC: Wikipedia & Indigo)
