IndiGo Flight Aborts Take-Off at High Speed in Guwahati After Technical Issue

An IndiGo flight from Guwahati to Silchar aborted its take-off at high speed on Wednesday, 28 October, after a reported technical issue prompted the pilot to stop the aircraft on the runway. The incident left more than 150 passengers shaken and led to the cancellation of the original service.

Flight 6E-748 was preparing to depart Guwahati at around 12.30 pm when the pilot carried out what the captain later described as a “high-speed rejected take-off”. The passengers were subsequently deboarded, and IndiGo arranged a replacement aircraft after a wait of nearly four hours, according to The Times of India. <Cite refs={[“turn452843search0”]}/>
