Flight from Mum diverted to Raipur due to bad weather

Bhubaneswar: An IndiGo flight from Mumbai to Bhubaneswar was diverted to Raipur on Thursday evening due to bad weather, airline officials said.

Flight 6E 463, scheduled to land at Biju Patnaik International Airport around 7.30 pm, could not make the approach as heavy rain accompanied by gusty surface winds lashed the capital, disrupting flight operations.

Confirming the diversion, IndiGo said the move was taken in the interest of passenger safety. “We regret the inconvenience caused. Please note that the flight was diverted to Raipur due to bad weather in Bhubaneswar, which is beyond our control. For any assistance, passengers may reach out to our airport team,” the airline said while responding to a flyer’s post on X.

Earlier, passenger Manjit Mohanty took to X to flag the issue, saying the Mumbai-Bhubaneswar flight was diverted to Raipur and passengers were stranded without any update. “No update as of now. Request confirmation when we can safely fly back to Bhubaneswar,” he wrote.
