Nearly 120 passengers and crew members on a Chennai-bound IndiGo
Airlines flight (6E512) from Bhubaneswar had a narrow escape on
Wednesday (June 25) after the windscreen of its cockpit suffered severe
damage mid-air. Ice crystals in the atmosphere and mid-air turbulence
reportedly caused the damage.
The flight made a safe landing at the airport in Visakhapatnam and all the passengers and crew members on board are safe. About 70 Chennai-bound passengers were stranded there for over three hours.
Passengers on board the IndiGo flight said that it took off from Bhubaneswar at 1.50 pm, but experienced turbulence mid-air. The crew informed the passengers that two layers of the windshield developed cracks and the pilots had no option but to land, said SDJM Prasad, who was travelling from Bhubaneswar to Chennai.
