Now let us establish a complete timeline using FlightRadar24 data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to FlightRadar24, the IndiGo flight 6E2433<\/strong> took off from Jayprakash Narayan International Airport (PAT) in Patna at 8:48 AM IST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immediately after takeoff, the flight crew experienced engine malfunction. The flight crew contacted PAT ATC to return back to PAT and make an emergency landing. The flight crew made a couple of loops, aligned the aircraft with the runway, and they performed the heavy landing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, a skilled IndiGo pilot landed safely back at PAT at around 9:12 AM UTC. The flight remained airborne for approx 25 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar Incident<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On July 29, 2023, an IndiGo (6E) flight from Kolkata (CCU)<\/a> to Chennai (MAA)<\/a> makes an emergency landing back at CCU due to smoke detection inside the forward cargo hold of the aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flight operated with the help of an Airbus <\/a>A320neo is registered as VT-IPW. Further, it is just a one-month-old aircraft; IndiGo took it recently and entered the service on 15 July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly after takeoff, the flight crew received a smoke warning from the sensors in the forward cargo hold of the aircraft. Following this, the pilot contacted ATC and decided to make a turnback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without burning extra fuel, the flight landed back at Kolkata at 2:57 PM IST, within 15 minutes of takeoff. Due to this incident, the flight was forced to make a heavy landing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon landing, the airline engineering team inspected the aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
