The IndiGo flight 6E-286 was preparing for take-off from Delhi for Pune on Thursday 4th March. One of the passengers took an RT-PCR test prior to boarding. However, the result of the test landed on his phone just moments before the flight was about to take off. He then informed cabin crew that he was COVID-19 positive and showed them his phone for proof. The pilot then radioed the ground controllers about the situation and returned to the parking bay for safety of the passengers. An announcement was made by the pilot that passengers on three rows of seats - from 6 to 8 - should get down first and wait in a coach for containment. The COVID-19 positive passenger sat in one of these rows.
The seats had to be disinfected and seat covers changed before the flight could take off again. While the remaining passengers on the flight were waiting for the safety measures to be completed in the aircraft. They were provided with PPE gowns and were asked to wear them for the entire duration of the flight.
The cabin crew gave beverages and water to the passengers. The COVID-19 positive passenger was sent to south Delhi's Safdarjung Hospital's Covid facility in an ambulance.
