IndiGo flight diverted to Hyderabad after circling Mumbai for 30 minutes due to rain
An IndiGo flight traveling from Delhi to Mumbai circled the city 10 times as severe rainfall hampered airport activity. The aircraft performed one loop in the vicinity of Nashik and another near Kalyan, followed by eight continuous circles around Malegaon, before the pilot opted to divert to Hyderabad. These maneuvers, known as a holding pattern used during poor weather or high traffic, lasted for more than half an hour.
