“Mr. Pan,” said the Delhi-Go Indigo flight pilot before he did an emergency landing at the airport in Mumbai.
Flight, Airbus A320Neo, carried 191 people from Delhi to Goa. The engine problem, however, forced an emergency landing in Mumbai at 21:53 on Wednesday.
According to the Hindustan Times report, who quoted an anonymous official: “The pilot said” Mr. Pan “for a failure in the engine number 1.”
Indigo, however, said that the diversion was triggered by a technical defect.
“On Flight 6271, a technical snag was detected on flying from Delhi to the International Airport Manohar, Goa 16 July 2025.
All passengers and crew members were reported safely.
What is the Pan-Pan shortened, declared by Pilot Delhi-Goa Indigo?
Pan-Pan, the abbreviation for “possible help with need” is a radio signal of the VHF used to communicate the urgent but not emergency air traffic control situation.
Pan-Pan is used for serious but not life-threatening situations that flight crews can handle with the time to solve problems with air traffic control priority.
How does the Call of Pan-Pan differ from the MAYDAY call?
Like Mayday, the phrase Pan-Pan came from “panne” in France, which means decomposition due to mechanical failure.
However, the intensity of two emergency calls differs:
Urgency: A “Pan-Pan” call is used In a state of emergency that does not pose an immediate danger or damage to the aircraft or its inhabitants, but when ignored, it can cause a disaster.
Need: “Mayday” refers to a state of emergency in which the pilot faces a life -threatening situation. Fire, loss of flight control or aircraft control or pilot incapacity for work falls into emergency emergency.
