A SpiceJet flight today returned to Delhi airport due to cabin pressure failure, with the incident occurring on a day another flight of the carrier made emergency landing after a bird hit.
During its initial ascend, the SpiceJet Q400 aircraft bound for Jabalpur observed that the cabin pressure differential was not building along with the rise in altitude, said a SpiceJet spokesperson.
The pressurisation was not regained even after the aircraft was levelled off at 6,000 feet. Thereafter, the pilot in command decided to return to Delhi and the aircraft landed safely at the city airport, the official said.
Earlier in the day, another SpiceJet flight had to make emergency landing in Patna after smoke and flames were detected in its engine following a bird hit. Three fan blades of the left engine were damaged, said an official. All 185 passengers on board the aircraft were safely evacuated.

Edited by Manjiri ChitreDespite a 77.5 per cent drop in stubble burning, i.e., agricultural waste - normally a significant reason for air pollution in Delhi during the winter - AQI in the national capital plummeted to a five-year post-Diwali low Tuesday morning.
Nutritionist Lovneet Batra has shared a simple Ayurvedic drink on Instagram that, she says, may help soothe the respiratory tract and protect the lungs from pollution damage.
The festive season, coupled with seasonal weather changes and increased stubble burning in neighbouring states, has exacerbated pollution levels, prompting calls for preventive measures.
As Delhi's air quality drops again, these 11 hill stations offer clean air, calm views and mountain peace after Diwali.
AAP MLA Gopal Rai accused the Delhi government of "making excuses" and not taking action to prevent the pollution.

Friday November 08, 2024हमारी हवा जहरीली हो रही है. गुरुवार की शाम को जब मैं इस मुद्दे पर लिखने बैठी तो AQI लगातार 400 पार जाकर दम घोंट रहा था. बहुत लोगों को यह मामला बोरिंग लगे, लेकिन जब आप अपने साथ काम करने वालों को खांसते-हांफते देखते-सुनते हैं, तो चिंता होने लगती है. सुबह उठते ही दरवाजे खिड़कियां खोलने के लिए डॉक्टर मना कर रहे हैं. बड़े बुजुर्गों के लिए तो मॉर्निंग वॉक बाहर की दुनिया से सीधे संपर्क का ज़रिया है, लेकिन डॉक्टर इसकी भी मनाही कर रहे हैं.
