A routine Kolkata-to-Patna journey turned tense on Friday when an IndiGo flight was forced to divert and make an emergency landing at Lucknow airport due to adverse weather conditions. Airport officials confirmed that conditions worsened rapidly which triggered disruptions in local flight schedules. The affected flight, numbered 6E 6917, departed from Kolkata and was expected to touch down in Patna at 3.50 pm. However, the aircraft circled in the air for a considerable duration after air traffic control withheld landing clearance because of unsafe visibility. With no improvement in sight, the flight was diverted to Lucknow and landed safely at the Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport around 5.15 pm.
