A SpiceJet flight from Delhi to Dubai was diverted to Karachi on Tuesday after a snag resulted in an indicator displaying a drop in fuel levels.
The Boeing 737 aircraft took off from New Delhi at 7.40 a.m. and made a precautionary landing in Karachi two hours later after the pilots observed an unusual drop in fuel quantity from the left tank. After the flight landed, the post-flight inspection didn’t reveal a leak, and the indicator turned out to be a false alarm, an airline source said.
The passengers were safely disembarked, and a replacement aircraft sent to Karachi to enable passengers to complete their journey, an airline spokesperson said.
