Guwahati, July 04, 2023: In an unforeseen turn of events, an IndiGo flight carrying multiple political leaders from Assam was compelled to make an emergency landing at Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (LGBI) on Tuesday. The incident took place due to a reported technical glitch onboard the aircraft.
According to the available information, the IndiGo flight had initially departed from Borjhar airport in Guwahati but soon encountered the technical issue, necessitating its return and subsequent emergency landing.
