A Mumbai to Nagpur flight, identified as 6E 5349, experienced a tense situation on Saturday morning when it was unable to land on its first attempt at Nagpur airport. The primary reason for the aborted landing was low visibility at the airport.
The pilot informed the passengers about the situation, explaining that the landing had to be aborted, which triggered panic among some passengers. One passenger recounted a moment of silence followed by visible fear, with some individuals beginning to pray.
Following the initial failed attempt, the aircraft circled the Nagpur airport for approximately 15 minutes. The flight then made a second landing attempt, which was successful, and the plane landed safely.
Airport officials have confirmed that the low visibility conditions affected multiple flights, potentially leading to continued delays throughout the day.
