An IndiGo plane with 170 passengers onboard made an emergency landing at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport after a crew member noticed fumes inside the cabin, an airport source said. IndiGo's 6E719 flight to Vishakhapatnam took off from Delhi at 5.20 am yesterday but returned 10 minutes later because of "fumes" inside the cabin.
