The flight took off at 3:30 PM and was scheduled to arrive in Hubballi by 4:30 PM. But as the plane circled Hubballi for nearly an hour—turbulence rocking it like a leaf—conditions worsened. By 6:30 PM, it safely touched down in Bengaluru.

All passengers were reported safe, though not without experiencing moments of panic during the turbulence. A video capturing their distress went viral on social media, showing the raw emotions of uncertainty and fear. “Don’t cry, nothing will happen…just wait,” one passenger reassured another amid the chaos.

Fly91 clarified that there was no technical issue with the aircraft—just a necessary diversion for safety reasons. An airport official confirmed, “Due to bad weather, the flight from Hyderabad to Hubballi was diverted to Bengaluru.” This decision aligns with standard operating procedures during adverse conditions.

Reports suggesting a technical fault were labeled as false and baseless by Fly91. Such diversions are routine during poor visibility or unstable weather; safety always takes precedence over schedules.

After landing in Bengaluru, the aircraft eventually returned to Hubballi at about 11 PM. Of the original 22 passengers, 18 chose to continue their journey after deboarding in Bengaluru.

This incident underscores the unpredictability of air travel—especially in regions facing severe weather disruptions. Similar incidents occurred across the area that day, further complicating travel plans for many.

As travelers resume their journeys and airlines adjust schedules accordingly, one thing remains clear: safety protocols are paramount. Details remain unconfirmed regarding any further impacts on Fly91’s operations following this event.
