IndiGo Delhi-Chennai flight diverted after power bank fire
Original: indigo plane fire delhi to chennai
A power bank caught fire mid-air on an IndiGo flight from Delhi to Chennai, forcing the aircraft to make an emergency diversion to Hyderabad. The crew handled the incident and the plane landed safely. The episode has reignited debate about the safety of carrying lithium battery power banks on flights, a topic under scrutiny in India following earlier in-flight battery incidents.
Why now: A mid-air fire forcing an emergency diversion is alarming and follows recent scrutiny of power bank safety on Indian flights.
