A statement from IndiGo said, "Flight 6E2518 from Mumbai to Delhi departed late due to a delay in the arrival of incoming aircraft because of bad weather. The subsequent processes of clearances required from Authorities and arrangement of a fresh crew to operate the flight as per guidelines also took time causing further delay."
Maharashtra weather update: During the heavy rain in Navi Mumbai, the low-lying areas were filled with water, and the situation still persists in some parts.
