New Delhi: An IndiGo flight operating from Delhi to Chennai returned to the bay before take-off on Friday after a message reading “DO NOT FLY 6E 6091” was reported, sources said. The flight later completed its journey after the threat was declared a hoax.
\n\nThe incident involved IndiGo flight 6E 6091. According to sources, Air Traffic Control (ATC) received a call regarding the message at around 3:30 pm.
\n\nThe aircraft had pushed back from the bay and was preparing for take-off when the message was discovered. Following standard operating procedures, the take-off was aborted and the aircraft was brought back to the bay.
\n\nA note bearing the message “DO NOT FLY 6E 6091” was reportedly found in the aircraft’s rear lavatory.
\n\nInitially, the Bomb Threat Assessment Committee (BTAC) was set to take over the investigation. However, since the message did not explicitly mention a bomb, the incident was classified as a non-specific threat, sources said.
\n\nThe aircraft waited for the necessary clearance before continuing its journey. The threat was subsequently declared a hoax, and the flight later completed its journey.
