Air India Express Flight Diverted to Nagpur Due to Weather, Lands After Delay
An Air India Express flight IX1373 from Vijayawada to Bhogapuram carrying two Andhra Pradesh ministers and over 70 passengers was diverted to Nagpur on September 23, 2026, due to bad weather and possible airport signalling issues. After circling and seeking landing permissions at multiple airports, the flight landed in Nagpur around midnight. It departed Nagpur early Thursday, stopping at Bengaluru and Vijayawada before finally reaching Bhogapuram around 8:30 a.m. Passengers and families expressed concern during the nearly 12-hour delay, but all were safe.
