On Thursday morning, September 3, 2026, IndiGo flight 6E1302, traveling from Hamad International Airport in Doha to Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru, was diverted to Muscat, Oman.
- Flight 6E1302 from Doha to Bengaluru diverted to Muscat on Thursday morning, September 3, 2026.
- Diversion reason was a medical emergency involving a member of the operating crew.
- Safety protocol ensured the crew member received timely medical assistance.
The flight is a regular service operated by IndiGo, which resumed its Doha network on May 1, 2026, following Middle East airspace disruptions. At that time, the airline announced over 60 weekly services connecting Doha to seven Indian cities, including Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kannur, Kochi, and Mumbai. The route is significant for the Indian diaspora from Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana residing in Qatar.
As of now, no official details have been released regarding the specific medical condition of the crew member, the total duration of the delay, the exact number of passengers on board, or the revised arrival time in Bengaluru. The diversion involves complex processes including ground handling, medical clearance, and operational readiness, the duration of which remains subject to the specific situation.
Passengers and families are advised not to rely on original scheduled arrival times and to check official flight status updates via the IndiGo website or mobile app. The airline provides alerts to registered mobile numbers and email addresses. Passengers with connecting flights—including those to cities such as Kochi, Mangaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Goa—are advised to contact the airline or their booking provider immediately if a connection is at risk, particularly if the onward travel is booked under a separate ticket.
