Technical Concern Identified Shortly After Takeoff, Passengers Safe
A Bahrain-bound Air India Express flight was forced to return to Cochin International Airport on Tuesday after experiencing suspected tyre trouble shortly after takeoff. According to a Cochin Airport spokesperson, the technical concern was identified moments after the aircraft became airborne, prompting the flight crew to receive instructions to return to the airport as a safety precaution.
The airport authorities took necessary measures to ensure the safe landing of the aircraft, the official told media. The incident is currently under investigation, and further details are awaited.
In a separate incident, a helpline at Mumbai International Airport received two consecutive calls from a woman on Sunday, warning of a “major problem” and urging the cancellation of a Mumbai-Delhi flight. The Sahar Police were notified, and an FIR was registered. The calls, which appeared to be a hoax, were traced to a location in Andheri East, but the caller could not be located.
The authorities are investigating both incidents to determine the cause of the technical issue with the Air India Express flight and to identify the person responsible for the hoax calls at Mumbai International Airport.
