An IndiGo flight from Doha to Bengaluru was diverted to Muscat on Thursday after a crew member fell ill mid-flight, prompting a Mayday emergency. The aircraft landed safely, and the affected crew member received medical attention and is recovering. The A320neo, operating flight 6E 1302, departed Doha at 3am, about an hour behind schedule, and turned around less than two hours later. IndiGo confirmed the diversion was for urgent medical care for one operating crew member, who was treated after landing and reported feeling better. IndiGo arranged an alternate aircraft and new crew to continue the journey to Bengaluru, providing refreshments and updates to waiting passengers. The airline apologized for the disruption and said it was working to minimize inconvenience.
