A Vistara Airlines Airbus A320-200N, registration VT-TNH performing flight UK-996 from Ahmedabad to Delhi (India) with 115 people on board, was in the initial climb out of Ahmedabad's runway 23 when the crew stopped the climb at 3000 feet and needed to shut the right hand engine (LEAP-1) down. The aircraft returned to Ahmedabad for a safe landing on runway 23 about 20 minutes after departure.

A replacement A320-200N registration VT-TNF reached Delhi with a delay of 5.5 hours.
