Budget passenger carrier IndiGo on Wednesday said Kolkata Air Traffic Control declared a 'full emergency for landing' when its Delhi-Dibrugarh flight landed in Kolkata as a 'precautionary diversion' due to a technical snag.

According to the airline, the Kolkata ATC took the decision to declare the 'precautionary flight diversion' as a 'full emergency for landing' on a 'suo moto' basis.

"IndiGo's Captain-in-Command operating Delhi-Dibrugarh flight 6E-3645, decided to divert aircraft to Kolkata due to a technical snag as a precautionary measure," the airline said in a statement.

"Despite that the cockpit crew did not declare any emergency, ATC declared full emergency on its own. The aircraft landed safely," the airline maintained.

The airline elaborated that it has reported the matter to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).

"An internal enquiry has also been initiated in the matter," the statement said.
