Just days after the deadly Air India crash near Ahmedabad that killed 271 people, IndiGo flight 6E-6764 from Guwahati to Chennai nearly walked the same path—running critically low on fuel mid-air and declaring a Mayday emergency.
Not due to engine failure.
Not due to bad weather.
But because of “airport congestion.”
Let that sink in.
The plane couldn’t land at Chennai. It circled, ran low on fuel, and declared the most serious emergency a pilot can—Mayday. It was forced to land in Bengaluru at 8:15 PM.
But the real horror?
Nobody knew about it for two days.
No passenger alert. No press release. No accountability.
Meanwhile, social media outrage is pouring in.
One user wrote:
“A Mayday emergency is hidden for 48 hours, but Alia Bhatt’s dress makes headlines within 30 seconds? Media reports Ambani’s wedding every minute.”
IndiGo and the DGCA didn’t just delay—they buried this incident. Worse, early reports suggest the aircraft didn’t carry the required diversion fuel. Passengers described a terrifying, steep mid-air climb after taxiing—indicating fuel exhaustion panic.
This isn’t a “technical glitch.”
It’s criminal negligence.
And it happened just days after an Air India flight—also after a Mayday call—crashed and killed hundreds.
Are lessons being learned—or just buried with the dead?
Why are India’s runways still unprepared? Why are dispatchers allowing aircraft to fly without full fuel reserves? Why is the DGCA and Indigo silent—again?
The answers are few, but the pattern is clear:
Profits over people. Silence over safety. PR over prevention.
It’s time we stop treating aviation lapses like isolated errors. Until there’s radical reform, public transparency, and real punishment, every passenger boarding a flight in India is playing with their lives.
