An Indigo Avions de Transport Regional ATR-72-212A, registration VT-IRA performing flight 6E-7742 from Jaipur to Chandigarh (India), was descending towards Chandigarh in heavy rain when one of the engines (PW127M) flamed out and recovered a few seconds. Another few seconds later the other engine flamed out and also recovered after a few seconds. The aircraft continued for a safe landing on Chandigarh's runway 11.

India's DGCA reported one of the engines restarted after a momentary flame out, then the same happened with the other engine, luckily the flameouts did not happen at the same time. The aircraft is grounded for inspections. Seemingly the engine performance was degraded due to weather related issues showing a decreased propeller speed, the engine control system detected and corrected the issue, the passengers did not notice anything unusual. The engine manufacturer has been informed.
