A Maldives-bound Go First flight was on Friday diverted to Coimbatore on Friday after a 'faulty' smoke alarm went off mid-air. The Bengaluru-Male plane was carrying 92 passengers.
The aircraft landed safely at the airport and has been parked in the apron. The pilot reported that all operations were normal, the sources said without elaborating.
The alarm went off after the twin engines allegedly overheated. The engineers checked the engines and declared that there was some 'fault' in the alarm and declared that the aircraft was fit to travel, the sources said.
Subsequently, it proceeded towards its destination, the sources added.
When asked about this incident, a Go First spokesperson said: "The matter is being inspected by the Go First engineering team and rectification is underway."
