SpiceJet flight from Delhi to Shillong lands in Patna after facing technical glitch

Speaking to news agency PTI, Patna airport director Anchal Prakash said, “A Delhi-Shillong flight of SpiceJet (SEJ-2950) faced a technical issue, prompting its diversion to the Jay Prakash Narayan International Airport here, where it landed safely at 8.52 am on Monday. Alternative arrangements are being made for the passengers.” He also assured that passengers and crew members on board were safe.

“On December 9, 2024, SpiceJet Q400 aircraft operating from Delhi to Shillong was diverted to Patna when a windshield crack was observed. Please note that there are three different layers of windshield and only one layer of a particular window had a crack and the diversion was purely a precautionary measure,” a Spokesperson of SpiceJet said.

The airline denied any sort of emergency landing of the flight. The Spokesperson further said, “The aircraft made a normal landing and not an emergency landing. Passengers were deplaned normally. Pressurization was normal throughout the flight.”
