Hyderabad: A Hyderabad to Tirupati SpiceJet flight returned to the city shortly after take-off on Thursday morning due to a warning light indicating a potential issue with the rear baggage door.
Flight SG 2696, operated by a Q400 aircraft, took off from Hyderabad Airport at 6.19 am and was scheduled to land in Tirupati at 7.40 am. The aircraft turned back mid-air to the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) as a precautionary measure after the warning light started glowing.
According to SpiceJet, the aircraft experienced an intermittent warning light for the aft (rear) baggage door after take-off, although cabin pressure remained normal throughout the flight. “The AFT baggage door warning light came on intermittently after take-off. Though cabin pressure remained normal, the pilots chose to return to Hyderabad as a precaution,” a SpiceJet spokesperson said.
The aircraft landed safely and all passengers were deplaned without incident. The airline clarified that it was not an emergency landing and that an alternate aircraft was being arranged to complete the journey to Tirupati.
