Delhi to Bangalore IndiGo flight 6E-2131 suffered an engine stall during takeoff roll at Delhi airport and has been called off. The pilot decided to abort the takeoff after the aircraft encountered a technical fault on the runway just before takeoff. According to IndiGo, all passengers are being accommodated in alternate aircraft.
While initial reports said that the aircraft was grounded due to a suspicious spark in the aircraft, IndiGo later stated that the engine stalled during the takeoff roll and hence returned to the bay.
