The [Times of India](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/indigo-flights-landing-gear-fails-to-retract-after-take-off-makes-safe-emergency-landing-in-pune/articleshow/135849085.cms) reported that a full emergency was declared at the airport.\n\n## How the Pune Emergency Unfolded\n\nThe pilot told Air Traffic Control that the aircraft's landing gear, or undercarriage, had failed to retract after take-off and remained in the extended position. Pune airport director Santosh Dhoke said the Indian Air Force declared a full emergency, after which fire services, ambulance services and other emergency response teams were placed on high alert.\n\n\"The Indian Air Force (IAF) declared a Full Emergency, following which all prescribed emergency response procedures were promptly activated,\" Dhoke said. As a precaution, the aircraft made a low pass over the runway so the landing gear could be assessed visually before it landed.\n\nAfter landing, three fire-fighting vehicles and two ambulances escorted the aircraft to Bay 7. ATC withdrew the full emergency at 9.10am once the aircraft was confirmed safe, the aerobridge was connected and all passengers were deboarded. IndiGo is arranging an alternate aircraft from Bengaluru to Pune for the passengers' onward journey to Guwahati.\n\n## IndiGo's Scale Across Indian Skies\n\n[IndiGo](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000679/indigo) is India's largest passenger airline by domestic market share, flying more than 2,000 daily flights to over 80 domestic and 30 international destinations, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The airline was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in Haryana.\n\nThe same records list Pieter Elbers as chief executive officer, with Willie Walsh named as incoming chief executive. IndiGo's stated goal is to reach approximately 3,000 daily flights by FY2030.\n\n## Earlier Disruptions for IndiGo\n\nTwo days before the Pune landing, the Times of India reported that IndiGo cancelled two flights from Ahmedabad, including a Nashik-bound flight 6E 7114 an hour before departure, stranding passengers during Diwali travel. On the same day, the outlet reported that a tissue paper bearing the message \"Boom 1.50pm\" was found in the lavatory of a Chennai-bound IndiGo flight, triggering a mid-air bomb scare.\n\nOn November 10, the New Indian Express reported that IndiGo extended suspensions of flights to Jeddah and Madinah until November 21 and to Riyadh and Dammam until November 30, citing security concerns from Houthi missile and drone attacks.\n\n## What Comes Next for Flight 6E 0623\n\nIndiGo is arranging an alternate aircraft from Bengaluru to Pune to carry the affected passengers onward to Guwahati, according to the Times of India.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
