The IndiGo aircraft was cruising to its destination without any difficulty and the Mumbai-bound plane took off as per schedule from Guwahati airport at 6.32 am in the morning today.
After a jet of Boeing 777 aircraft, passing in the opposite direction of IngiGo’s A320 airplane, created wake turbulence mid-air, an engine 1 stall warning was issued for a moment to IndiGo flight 6E-6812, stated an official as quoted by the news agency.
Following the incident, the IndiGo aircraft was cruising to its destination without any difficulty and the Mumbai-bound plane took off as per schedule from Guwahati airport at 6.32 am in the morning today.
Federation Aviation Administration
Sources said that the wake turbulence arose due to the large jet aircraft crossing in the opposite direction of the Indigo aircraft. However, the Federation Aviation Administration (FAA) had already said that the wake turbulence can be negligible or sometimes it can be disastrous.
“A wake turbulence encounter in a flight can either be negligible or sometimes catastrophic. The effect of wake turbulence depends on the weight, wingspan, size of the originated aircraft, distance from the originated aircraft, and point of vortex encounter,” the Federation Aviation Administration (FAA) told in an official report.

In addition to this, it is also said that during wake turbulence, pilots are always prepared for turbulence in the sky as their role is very important in dealing with the situation at that time, as per reports.
It can also impose rolling moments exceeding the roll-control authority of encountering aircraft, causing injury to occupants and damage to aircraft, the Federation Aviation Administration (FAA) stated, adding that the pilots should always be aware of the possible wake turbulence encountered when flying through the wake of another aircraft in the opposite direction and adjust the path accordingly.
IndiGo has reported the incident to India’s aviation regulatory body, Director General Civil Aviation (DGCA), about the incident and there was no damage to the plane and passengers.
The company further refused to make any official comment on the above incident.
