Chandigarh: An IndiGo flight from Singapore to Delhi made an unscheduled landing at Chandigarh airport after being diverted due to adverse weather in the national capital, officials said.
The flight (6E-1014) landed at Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport on the intervening night of Friday and Saturday, although it was not scheduled to operate to Chandigarh.
Airport CEO Ajay Kumar said the aircraft landed safely at 11:55 pm and remained on the ground for about an hour before departing for Delhi at 1:05 am.
“Passengers were provided full assistance and cooperation as per protocol during the halt,” he said.
While Chandigarh currently lacks direct connectivity with Singapore, the smooth handling of the long-haul international flight underscored the airport’s operational readiness to manage such services.
The airport’s international footprint has been expanding in recent months, with direct flights to Dubai resuming and regular services to Abu Dhabi continuing. With rising outbound traffic from Punjab, Haryana and the Chandigarh region, the diversion has once again highlighted the potential for more direct overseas routes from the city.
