Necessary procedures were followed and as a precaution, the aircraft was diverted to Karachi. An additional flight is being sent to Karachi to fly the passengers to Hyderabad,” the airline said in a release.

In the last two weeks, Karachi has seen an unplanned landing by an Indian aircraft twice.

Due to a broken fuel indicator light in the cockpit, a SpiceJet flight bound for Dubai from Delhi was diverted to the Pakistani city earlier this month.
