India’s new greenfield airport, Navi Mumbai (NMI), will be airlinked with Tamil Nadu from December 29, 2025, with Indigo beginning direct and daily flights from Chennai and Coimbatore.

The source said that Mumbai is operationally challenging given the high volume of air traffic, and the new flights to NMI will offer the air passenger more choice. The airline has nine flights a day from Chennai, and three flights a day from Coimbatore to Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport.

Mumbai is also a sector where Indigo competes with Air India and Indigo will be the first to begin direct flights to NMI from the State.

The Chennai operations, aimed at business traffic, will be flights 6E 898/899, departing Chennai at 6.10 a.m., with the return flight leaving NMI at 7.40 p.m. The Coimbatore flights will be 6E 860, departing NMI at 9 a.m. and arriving Coimbatore at 10.45 a.m., and 6E 861, departing Coimbatore at 11.15 a.m.

Airbus said on Monday (December 1, 2025) that the vast majority of the around 6,000 A320-family aircraft affected by a safety alert have now been modified, with fewer than 100 jets still requiring work.

The European plane-maker on Friday (November 28, 2025) ordered immediate repairs to its widely used family of jets owing to a flight-control software issue.

Airbus said it was working with airline customers to support modifications on the remaining aircraft to return them to service.

Co-Pilot Faints On Lisbon-Bound Flight, Rare “Red Alert” Issued

The 193-passenger flight made a safe, “in line with procedures” landing in Portugal.

An co-pilot was hospitalised after he fainted on a flight from London to Portugal on July 27. He became ill during the approach to Lisbon Airport on easyJet Flight EZY2459 from Luton. Upon landing, he was attended to by paramedics at the airport. The first officer was then sent to Santa Maria Hospital in Lisbon for medical treatment, as per a report in the Independent.

The Airbus A320 aircraft issued a rare “red alert,” which is an obligatory stop of operations as a safety precaution, as the medical situation developed. The 193-passenger flight made a safe, “in line with procedures” landing in Portugal.

A spokesperson for easyJet said in a statement: “easyJet can confirm that the flight EZY2459 from Luton to Lisbon was met by the paramedics upon landing due to a pilot member feeling unwell.

“The Captain landed the flight routinely in line with procedures and passengers disembarked normally. At no point was the safety of the flight compromised. The safety and welfare of passengers and crew is easyJet’s highest priority,” they said.

Notably, passengers leaving for the return trip to London from Luton experienced a three-hour delay.

Meanwhile, a few weeks ago, a pilot of a small aircraft experienced a medical emergency when a passenger took over and the aircraft crashed on an island in Massachusetts, US, as per The Washington Post.

The event happened in West Tisbury, Massachusetts, close to Martha’s Vineyard Airport. According to Massachusetts State Police, the male pilot, who is aged 79, experienced an emergency during the plane’s final approach. “The crash resulted in a hard landing outside the runway that caused the aircraft’s left wing to break in half,” The Post quoted the state police as saying.

The pilot was then taken to a Boston hospital in critical condition. The female passenger was not hurt and was released from a local hospital, according to The Post, citing authorities.
