Budget carrier IndiGo’s Ahmedabad to Diu flight, with 60 passengers on board, aborted its take-off on Wednesday due to a ‘technical snag’ in the aircraft. According to an official statement from IndiGo, the pilots noticed a technical indication during pre-departure checks and promptly alerted the concerned authorities. The aircraft was then brought back to the bay for further inspection.
