NEW DELHI: A SpiceJet flight operating from Goa to Hyderabad on Thursday made an emergency landing at its destination following smoke in the aircraft.
The aircraft, a Q400 (VT-SQB), landed safely and passengers disembarked on the taxiway through the emergency exit.
One passenger sustained minor scratches on feet while disembarking. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has ordered a probe into this incident.
Tagging all aviation authorities, a passenger, Srikanth Mulupala, said on Twitter: “…returning to Hyderabad from Goa… suddenly there was smoke all around inside the plane starting from Nagpur to Hyderabad. It took 20 minutes from there and we all passengers suffered and blacked out with fear. Luckily we landed alive and safely… But what if something happens and who would be responsible….. This should not be ignored. Must take necessary action.”
A SpiceJet spokesperson said: “SpiceJet Q400 aircraft operating from Goa to Hyderabad landed safely at its destination on October 12 after smoke was observed in the cabin during descent. Passengers were safely disembarked.”
The Hyderabad airport had made all preparations for this emergency landing.
