NEW DELHI: IndiGo passengers flying between Delhi and Ahmedabad had a smoke-filled flight on the first day of the new year.

An Airbus 320 aircraft operating between Delhi and Ahmedabad (6E-6373) was filled with smoke leading to pilot issuing a PAN-PAN midair call. PAN-PAN is an international standard urgency signal to declare that they have a situation that is urgent.

A response from IndiGo is awaiting. It will be added as and when it come.

This incident has happened close on the heels of another IndiGo flight, operated by Airbus 320 (neos) flying between Jaipur and Kolkata made an emergency landing at the destination due to smoke filling the cabin and cockpit of the aircraft. The pilot, in this case, had made a May Day call.

Aircraft made a priority landing at Ahmedabad airport but not an emergency landing, which was the case with the IndiGo flight at Kolkata airport.
