An IndiGo plane faced an issue with the landing gear lever while landing at the city airport on Friday morning, according to sources.

The A321 neo aircraft, which operated flight 6E2157, carrying more than 210 people, landed safely, they added.

There was an issue with the aircraft's landing gear lever. The automatic mode was not working, and the manual mode was used. The issue was addressed, and the plane operated other flights later, according to sources.

In a statement, IndiGo said there was a minor technical snag.

"The pilots followed standard operating procedures, and the aircraft landed safely. The same aircraft operated with a slight delay after routine checks and necessary maintenance were performed," the airline said.
