indiGo flight declares Mayday
Bengaluru-bound IndiGo flight from Lucknow suffered cabin depressurisation just before it was about to land. The IndiGo flight was 240 km away from Bengaluru. The Airbus A320 (VT-ITM), however, landed safely at its destination. The aircraft has been grounded for checks and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation is investigating the issue.
The crew of flight 6E-6654 declared Mayday when cabin pressure failed at 11,000 ft, as mentioned in a report in Times of India. The overhead masks got deployed upon depressurisation. The crew contacted Bengaluru air traffic control and requested clearance to descend to 10,000 ft, which was immediately given.
