An IndiGo flight from Bengaluru to Patna was diverted to the city’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA), on Tuesday, after a four-month-old boy developed health complications on board.
The flight 6E 897 took off from Bengaluru during wee hours and was diverted to Hyderabad in a bid to provide better medical facilities to the child.
The baby was travelling with his parents on an Indigo flight when he developed breathing problem. As the panic struck, the plane’s crew decided to divert the flight to Hyderabad around 7.30 AM while requesting for an ambulance and a doctor at the airport.
