Turbulence on IndiGo Raipur-Delhi Flight Due to Dust Storm, Safe Landing After Go-Around (Watch Video)
New Delhi, June 1: An IndiGo flight (6E 6313) from Raipur to Delhi encountered severe turbulence while approaching Indira Gandhi International Airport on Saturday evening, due to a sudden dust storm and strong winds.
Just moments before touchdown, the pilot discontinued the landing approach and initiated a go-around maneuver, citing safety concerns. According to an onboard announcement, wind speeds had reached up to 80 km/h, making it unsafe to proceed with the landing at that time.
The aircraft remained airborne, circling the skies above Delhi until weather conditions stabilized. The flight eventually landed safely, with all passengers and crew unharmed.
Passengers commended the flight crew for handling the situation with professionalism and clear communication during the delay.
