NEW DELHI: Pilots of an IndiGo flight from Delhi to Kolkata requested Kolkata ATC for precedence touchdown after smoke was detected within the cargo maintain space.

Kolkata Air site visitors management (ATC) alerted the airport hearth brigade for a protected touchdown for IndiGo flight 6E-2513.

According to IndiGo, all of the prescribed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) have been adopted by the pilots earlier than touchdown.

“The pilots followed their SOPs and prioritised the landing at Kolkata. Post-arrival necessary inspections were carried out. The warning was confirmed as spurious. Necessary rectifications on the detection system are in progress,” IndiGo stated in an announcement.

According to aviation sources, IndiGo pilots declared ‘May Day’ right now as a result of smoke within the cargo maintain space of the Kolkata-bound airplane.

May Day is a misery name used to sign a life-threatening emergency, normally on a ship or plane.
