Mumbai-bound GoAir flight from Patna makes emergency landing in Aurangabad

A Mumbai-bound GoAir flight from Patna made an emergency landing in Maharashtra’s Aurangabad on Sunday. All passengers are safe, according to news agency ANI. "The GoAir flight G-8 586 from Patna to Mumbai made an emergency landing at Aurangabad airport due to technical glitch. All the 158 passengers on the aircraft, including crew, landed safely and will be accommodated on an alternate flight to their destination," the GoAir spokesperson said.

This is a second emergency landing by a GoAir flight. On May 3, a flight to Patna made an emergency landing in Hyderabad, nearly 30 minutes after it took-off from Bengaluru, due to a technical snag. The flight G8 373—an A320Neo model—with 180 passengers on board made an emergency landing at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport at 10.40 am because there was an unusual disturbance in the aircraft.
