As per news report of The Indian Express, in a third incident, an IndiGo aircraft turned back to Guwahati a few minutes after takeoff due to a bird hit. All the three incidents will be probed by the aviation safety regulator DGCA. On Sunday afternoon, a Delhi-bound Boeing 737-800 operated by the Gurugram-based low-cost airline made an emergency landing in Patna, minutes after take-off from there, after one of its engines suffered a bird hit. The aircraft was carrying 185 passengers and six crew members.
