An IndiGo flight carrying 151 passengers, including Samajwadi Party MP Dimple Yadav, aborted take-off at Lucknow airport on Saturday.

Flight 6E 2111, bound for Delhi, was accelerating on the runway when the aircraft reportedly failed to achieve the necessary thrust for lift-off.

Following standard operating procedures, the captain applied the brakes and brought the aircraft to a safe halt before the end of the runway.
