A Fly91 flight from Hyderabad to Hubballi on Sunday encountered unexpected turbulence when adverse weather conditions forced its diversion to Bengaluru. Although the aircraft stayed airborne for three and a half hours, airline representatives assured that such diversions are part of standard safety procedures.
With 22 passengers on board, the ATR 72-600 aircraft initially attempted to land at its intended destination. However, persistent unfavorable weather over Hubballi necessitated its rerouting. Passengers, understandably anxious, were calmed as Fly91 stressed the robustness of their safety protocols.
Airport officials noted a similar flight diversion from Mumbai to Goa, attributing disruptions to the regional weather. Fly91 maintained that no technical issues arose, reaffirming the quality of their pilots' and ground staff's readiness for such circumstances.
