The reason behind the diversion is not clear yet, as the airline has not specified the reason for the diversion. However, according to some reports, this was carried out by the airline to attend to a medical emergency.
This development comes at a time when the Indian civil aviation industry is dealing with 'epidemic' hoax bomb threat calls that have created a great deal of anxiety in the industry and among common passengers.
In the post on X, Vistara said, "#DiversionUpdate: Flight UK829 from Delhi to Hyderabad (DEL-HYD) has been diverted to Jaipur (JAI) and is expected to arrive in Jaipur at 0830 hrs. Please stay tuned for further updates."
