A domestic IndiGo flight reportedly suffered a mid-air windshield crack while flying from Tuticorin to Chennai in Tamil Nadu on Monday. The flight later made a safe landing, according to reports. The ATR flight 6E1607 was carrying 75 passengers when the pilots detected the crack and alerted ground staff, after which a local standby was declared at the Chennai airport. No emergency was announced as the situation was soon brought under control, NDTV reported citing airport officials.
A senior official at the Airports Authority of India (AAI) told NDTV: "There was no emergency declared and the flight made a smooth landing." He added that only an investigation could reveal the cause of the mid-flight incident. This marks the second such incident on an IndiGo aircraft in a matter of just four
