A hydraulic system issue caused an IndiGo flight to return to Delhi airport on Tuesday morning, according to officials. The flight was headed to Phuket. According to airport sources, the A320 neo plane's hydraulic problem caused it to return to the airport here at around 7.20 am after departing for Phuket, Thailand, at around 6.25 am. According to the sources, the plane touched down safely at Delhi's airport.
