A dramatic turn of events unfolded on a recent flight from Querétaro to Cancun, as the pilots of Volaris flight VOI3519 declared a general emergency and diverted their aircraft back to its point of origin. The unexpected U-turn has left passengers and authorities alike seeking answers about the cause behind this sudden change in course.
According to data from flight tracking platforms, the incident occurred just 50 minutes after takeoff, with the aircraft reaching an altitude of over 11,000 meters before beginning a sharp descent to 3,000 meters in mere minutes. The plane then flew over the Gulf of Mexico coast near Tampico International Airport, where it made several turns before deciding to return to Querétaro Intercontinental Airport (AIQ).
The Volaris flight had departed from Querétaro Airport at 1:34 p.m., roughly 50 minutes behind its scheduled takeoff time. The aircraft’s diversion and subsequent return to its point of origin has left many wondering about the reasons behind this unprecedented emergency declaration.
At the moment, Volaris has not issued an official statement regarding the causes that led to the emergency declaration, leaving passengers on the original flight stranded for several hours. According to the airline’s website, the rescheduled flight is now set to depart from Querétaro to Cancun at 5:07 p.m., more than four hours behind schedule.
