NEW DELHI, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- A mid-air scare forced an IndiGo airlines flight to make an emergency landing Friday at the airport in Patna, the capital city of the eastern Indian state of Bihar, officials said.
All the passengers are said to be safe.
The Delhi-bound flight 6E 2433 carrying 181 passengers and eight crew made the landing shortly after taking off from the Jay Prakash Narayan International Airport, Patna, after one of its engines became inoperative.
Officials said the flight returned to its origin barely three minutes after its departure.
A passenger posted a video of his experience on the flight on social media saying he felt scared due to the turbulence and noise.
Media reports said the passengers will be sent to Delhi on a separate flight.
