An IndiGo flight from Doha to Bengaluru was diverted to Muscat on Thursday after one of its crew members needed urgent medical attention, the airline said.
IndiGo flight 6E 1302, operating on the Doha-Bengaluru route on September 3, 2026, was diverted to Muscat following the medical emergency involving a member of the operating crew.
After the aircraft landed in Muscat, the crew member was treated by a medical team and is now reported to be feeling better. IndiGo did not provide details about the nature of the medical condition.
The airline said it had arranged a replacement aircraft and a new crew to resume the journey to Bengaluru.
“IndiGo flight 6E 1302, operating from Doha to Bengaluru on 03 September 2026 was diverted to Muscat due to an urgent requirement of medical attention for one of the operating crew members,” the airline said in a statement.
“The said crew member was attended to by medical team upon landing and is feeling better now. An alternate aircraft along with a new set of crew has been arranged to continue the journey to Bengaluru,” it added.
Passengers from the diverted flight are currently waiting in Muscat for the onward journey. IndiGo said it is offering refreshments and providing regular updates as arrangements are made for the replacement aircraft.
The airline apologised to passengers for the inconvenience caused by the diversion and said it was working to limit the disruption.
“The safety of our customers, crew, and aircraft remains our top priority at IndiGo,” the airline said.
The incident is another instance of an aircraft being diverted because of a medical emergency during a flight. Such diversions are typically carried out when the crew determines that a passenger or crew member needs medical treatment that cannot be sufficiently provided while continuing to the scheduled destination.
IndiGo has yet to announce a revised estimated arrival time for flight 6E 1302 in Bengaluru.
