A Dubai-bound SpiceJet flight from Madurai was forced to make an emergency landing in Chennai on Monday after a suspected mid-air technical snag.
Flight SG23, carrying 160 passengers and seven crew members, landed safely at Chennai airport, broadcaster India Today said.
A full emergency was declared at Mumbai airport last month after a SpiceJet Q400 aircraft lost an outer wheel shortly after takeoff from Kandla. The flight was en route to Mumbai when the wheel reportedly came off mid-air.
Last Thursday, a Patna-bound SpiceJet aircraft was forced to return to Delhi after the crew reported a technical issue shortly after takeoff. All passengers and crew were reported safe.
In September, a Delhi-bound SpiceJet flight from Pune made a mid-air turnback to the originating airport due to a technical glitch and landed under full emergency conditions.
