Air India flight AI315, which was en route from Hong Kong to Delhi, had to return to Hong Kong mid-flight due to a potential technical issue.
According to initial reports, the pilot decided to turn the aircraft back after observing a possible technical concern. The airline has not disclosed the exact nature of the issue, but emphasized that the decision was taken purely as a safety precaution.
There were no injuries or emergencies reported during the incident, and the aircraft landed safely back in Hong Kong. Passengers were informed about the situation and are being accommodated while a technical inspection is carried out.
Air India has not yet released an official statement, but sources say engineers are currently checking the aircraft for faults. Authorities have also been notified as part of standard aviation protocols.
This incident comes amid a time when several global airlines are tightening safety checks following a rise in mid-air technical alerts in recent months.
More updates are expected once the airline completes its investigation.
