WHAT HAPPENED

An IndiGo flight suffered an engine failure, prompting Chennai airport to declare a full emergency, according to Deutsche Welle. The incident occurred hours after reports that an Air India pilot involved in an on‑air altercation last week tested positive in a drug test.

The airline’s aircraft made an emergency landing, and airport authorities activated full‑scale emergency procedures, The Times of India reported. Deutsche Welle noted that the drug‑test results had surfaced only a few hours before the engine failure.

Engine failures represent a serious safety concern for commercial aviation, and the timing of the drug‑test findings raises questions about crew readiness and operational oversight.

  • IndiGo aircraft experienced an engine failure, forcing an emergency landing at Chennai.
  • Chennai airport declared a full emergency response following the incident.
  • An Air India pilot, previously involved in an on‑air incident, tested positive for drugs a few hours earlier.
