A Fly91 flight from Hyderabad to Hubballi was diverted to Bengaluru due to bad weather. This incident involved 22 passengers, all of whom were reported safe.
The flight departed Hyderabad at around 3:30 PM, with a scheduled landing in Hubballi at 4:30 PM. However, the aircraft circled Hubballi for nearly an hour before making the diversion. It ultimately landed in Bengaluru at 6:30 PM.
Passengers on board experienced panic during the flight due to turbulence and adverse weather conditions. A video showing distressed passengers went viral on social media, highlighting the tense situation.
Fly91 emphasized that there was no technical snag with the aircraft. “There was zero compromise to safety,” a spokesperson stated. Reports suggesting a technical fault were described as false and baseless by the airline.
After landing in Bengaluru, the aircraft returned to Hubballi later that night at approximately 11 PM. Of the original 22 passengers, 18 continued their journey to Hubballi after deboarding in Bengaluru.
This diversion aligns with standard operating procedures during poor visibility or unstable weather—prioritizing passenger safety over schedule adherence.
Similar weather-related disruptions occurred in the region on the same day. Details remain unconfirmed regarding any further implications for Fly91 or other flights affected by these conditions.
