A SpiceJet flight with a destination of Patna was diverted to Varanasi due to brake problems, sources said on Saturday. At 8.30 a.m. on Friday, the plane was supposed to touch down at Patna airport after taking off from Delhi. But as it got to around 50 kilometres from Patna, near the city of Arrah, the brake malfunctioned.
As the runway of Patna Jay Prakash Narayan International airport is smaller than other airports, the pilot refused to land there despite the permission given by ATC, after which the aircraft was diverted to Varanasi.
