Thankfully, all the 170 passengers on board are safe. According to reports, the reason for the emergency landing was a crack that developed in the aircraft's windshield. This damage is suspected to be caused by a hailstorm that struck parts of Odisha this afternoon.
The pilot made the decision to return to Bhubaneswar as a precaution, prioritizing the safety of everyone on board. The plane landed safely at the airport and passengers were disembarked.
Vistara has not yet released any official statement regarding the incident. However, we can expect them to provide more details about the situation and any potential delays or rebooking options for affected passengers.
This event highlights the importance of pilot training and their ability to make quick decisions in emergency situations. It also serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of weather and the potential impact it can have on air travel.
