A minor technical snag was detected on IndiGo flight 6E 6591 operating from Tirupati to Hyderabad on 20 July 2025. As a precaution, the pilots decided to return and landed safely in Tirupati. The aircraft will undergo necessary checks before resuming the flight.

What happened?

IndiGo flight 6E 6591 took off from Tirupati airport but circled around the airspace for nearly 40 minutes after a technical snag was detected. As a precaution, the flight crew decided to return to Tirupati.

Flight cancelled

The flight was eventually cancelled as it was the last scheduled service of the day to Hyderabad and several passengers were seen arguing with the airline staff regarding rescheduling and alternative arrangements.

Re-accommodation or full refund offered

However, IndiGo has arranged alternate flights for the affected passengers and assured a full refund for those who choose to cancel their bookings.

"All affected customers have been re-accommodated on the next available flights or given a full refund against cancellation, as per their preference," IndiGo Spokesperson said.
