SpiceJet plane suffers hydraulic failure, makes emergency landing at Delhi airport

A SpiceJet flight from Bengaluru to Delhi (SG 136) had to make an emergency landing at the Delhi airport today due to a technical snag. None of the passengers were injured in the incident.

According to reports, pilots requested the Air Traffic Control (ATC) for a priority landing after experiencing 'partial hydraulic failure due to loss of hydraulic fluid'.

The plane landed safely under full emergency measures.

The incident comes just days after when two aircraft came face-to-face moments before one was to takeoff at Indira Gandhi International airport in the national capital. 

An Indigo flight was



headed towards taxiway after landing just when a SpiceJet aircraft was preparing for takeoff. Both the passenger jets came face-to-face. The incident took place on December 27, 2016.

Hours earlier on the same day, a Jet Airways flight with 161 people on board veered off the runway and skidded into the field at Goa airport. Some passengers were hurt in the incident.

Jet flight 9W 2374 was scheduled to fly from Goa to Mumbai at 4.40 am but aborted the takeoff at the last moment as pilots detected a technical snag.

The flight spun 360 degree before coming to a halt in the field inside the Dabolim airport premises.
