Three IndiGo flights bound for Hyderabad diverted to Vijayawada due to poor visibility

Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) witnessed flight disruptions on Friday morning as heavy rain forced the diversion of three IndiGo flights to Vijayawada.

According to information provided by Hyderabad airport authorities, the affected flights were 6E 6148 from Mumbai, 6E 6623 from Kolkata, and 6E 352 from Pune. All three aircraft were seen circling over Hyderabad before being diverted to Vijayawada due to poor weather conditions.

IndiGo also issued a travel advisory on X, citing bad weather in Hyderabad.

The airline advised passengers to check the status of their flights before travelling to the airport. “The rain has slowed more than just the skies, roads across Hyderabad are experiencing heavier-than-usual traffic. If you are heading to the airport, we recommend setting off a bit earlier than usual. Our teams are doing their best to keep your journey moving as smoothly as possible and are here to assist you at every step,” the airline said.
