Several flights faced operational challenges. IndiGo flight 6E 7532 intended for Tirupati took off at 6:51 am but had to return to RGIA due to adverse weather at the destination. Similarly, flight 6E 289 bound for Chennai, scheduled for 6.10 am, departed at 7.32 am but was compelled to return to Hyderabad due to unfavorable weather conditions in Chennai.
In addition, IndiGo flight 6E 971, departing from Chandigarh’s Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport at 7.23 am with a scheduled landing in Chennai at 10.20 am, was diverted to RGIA, landing around 10 am due to challenging weather conditions in Chennai.
