A Delhi-Indore Air India Express flight carrying 161 passengers experienced a mid-air engine fault on Friday which prompted the pilot to make a ‘PAN-PAN’ call to signal a non-life-threatening emergency. Despite the scare, the aircraft landed safely at Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport in Indore with only a 20-minute delay, officials confirmed. The flight, IX 1028, was scheduled to land at 9:35 am but touched down at 9:55 am. Airport Director Vipinkant Seth said that all necessary precautions were taken once the technical issue was reported. Emergency fire and medical arrangements were kept on standby and the aircraft landed safely with all passengers and crew unharmed.
