NEW DELHI: A Patna bound SpiceJet flight from Delhi suffered a technical snag mid-air immediately after take-off and was forced to return to Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) on Thursday .
The Boeing 737 Max flight carrying over 150 passengers departed from Terminal 1 of Delhi airport at 9.28 am. Due to the technical glitch, it had to be brought back immediately. Passengers were later accommodated in an alternate aircraft.
