ndiGo flight Forced To Deviate And Enters Pakistan Airspace Amid Bad Weather
An IndiGo flight from Amritsar to Ahmedabad entered Pakistani territory because of terrible weather, flew up to Gujranwala, and then returned to Indian airspace safely, the airline reported on Sunday.
Due to poor weather on Saturday, IndiGo aircraft 6E-645 was forced to deviate over Atari and enter Pakistani airspace, the airline stated in a statement.
“The deviation was well coordinated with Pakistan by Amritsar ATC via telephone. The crew was in continuous contact with Pakistan on R/T and the flight landed in Ahmedabad safely post the deviation,” it added.
The IndiGo aircraft, which had a ground speed of 454 knots, arrived north of Lahore on Saturday about 7:30 pm and left for India at 8:01 pm, according to an earlier report in the Dawn daily.
According to a senior member of Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), it was “internationally approved” to fly in poor weather, therefore it wasn’t unusual.
Due to persistent rain in Pakistan, a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight entered Indian airspace in May and remained there for about ten minutes.
On May 4, the PK248 flight, which was departing from Muscat, attempted to touch down at Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport. But, landing the Boeing 777 was challenging due to the severe downpour.
Due to low visibility at airports, numerous flights were diverted and delayed in Pakistan.
The CAA official stated that because to the 5,000-meter visibility at the Allama Iqbal International Airport, the weather warning for Lahore had been extended until 11:30 pm on Saturday.
Due to low visibility, a number of flights bound for Lahore were diverted to Islamabad.
Parts of Pakistan were hit by rain, high winds, and thunder on Saturday night. According to local media, the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province’s three adjacent districts, where roughly 29 people were slain, were the hardest affected.
