A senior Directorate General of Civil Aviation(DGCA) official told the A320 neo aircraft VT-ILM operating flight 6E-1763 was involved in air turnback after the loss of the green hydraulic system. In a report, IndiGo said its flight 6E1763 operating from Delhi to Phuket, experienced a technical problem after take-off from Delhi International airport.
“The aircraft returned to Delhi airport for necessary maintenance. An alternate aircraft is being provided to the passengers for the flight to Phuket,” it stated.
Details about the number of travelers could not be directly ascertained. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation(DGCA) official told that during the flight, the hydraulic green reservoir low level, system low pressure, and low-pressure pump warning got triggered.
Earlier in November, an Air India A320 aircraft, VT-EXV, operating AI-951 (from Hyderabad to Dubai) and carrying 143 passengers, was diverted to Mumbai International airport after the failure of the yellow hydraulic system.
An IndiGo flight service from Kannur to Doha was also diverted to the airport this month after a technical fault. Flight 6E-1715 was delayed to Mumbai International airport as a precaution, according to the airline.
