On the night of July 16, 2025, IndiGo flight 6E‑6271, an Airbus A320neo, suffered an engine malfunction mid‑air around 9:27 pm, roughly 100 nautical miles north of Bhubaneswar. The pilot issued a “PAN PAN PAN” call—alerting air traffic control to a serious but non-life-threatening issue—and diverted to Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. The aircraft landed safely at 9:53 pm, ahead of schedule. All 191 passengers and crew were unharmed. IndiGo confirmed a technical snag, grounded the plane for inspection, and arranged an alternate aircraft to complete the journey. (PC: News 18)
