Air India’s problematic fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft continues to be in the news for wrong reasons. Yet another aircraft had to make an emergency landing at the Delhi airport due to technical snag.
Air India's Delhi-Muscat flight (AI 973) departed from Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport at 7.40 pm on Sunday but had to return after the pilot detected a hydraulic leak. The flight, with 85 people on board, landed back safely at around 8.45 pm at Delhi airport.
On Thursday, Air India’s Varanasi to Delhi flight (AI 433) with 133 passengers on board had to make an emergency landing due to suspected snag in one engine.
On September 7, another Airbus A320 aircraft on the same Varanasi-Delhi sector (AI 405) had to make an emergency landing at Delhi airport following a hydraulic leak. The passengers of the aircraft had to be evacuated through emergency chutes after smoke was detected in the rear tyre.
