IndiGo flight returns to Chennai due to technical issue

An IndiGo flight from Chennai to Madurai had to turn back mid-air on Friday after the crew noticed a technical issue about 30 minutes into the journey.
The pilot quickly alerted air traffic control and landed safely in Chennai.
Everyone got off without any problems, and IndiGo arranged another flight for the over 60 passengers.
The affected plane is now grounded for checks.

TL;DR

Another incident involving IndiGo

Earlier, a Delhi-Raipur IndiGo flight had its own drama when a door malfunction left passengers— including ex-Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel— stuck inside for almost 40 minutes after landing.
Ground staff eventually got everyone out safely.
