NEW DELHI: An Air India Boeing 787 made an emergency landing due to a technical snag. Air India AI-315, which departed from Hong Kong to Delhi this morning, made an emergency landing. The pilot confirmed that the plane had a technical snag mid-air. With this, the flight made an emergency landing in Hong Kong. This is the same Boeing Dreamliner 787 series aircraft that was involved in the Ahmedabad plane crash. Its inspection is progressing. It is reported that everyone on board is safe. Air India has not officially commented on the plane's re-landing or any further details about the new flight.


Meantime, safety checks have begun on 33 Dreamliner series aircraft of Air India. The action follows the directives of the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) in the wake of the Ahmedabad accident. As part of this, Air India has informed that some services may be delayed and passengers can cancel their tickets and request a refund.


Flights that have gone abroad will be inspected upon their return. Inspections have been completed on nine flights as of Saturday. The process will be completed on the remaining 24 flights within the time limit. Inspections will take time on some long-haul routes and airports with restrictions. Passengers will be informed of service delays in a timely manner. Before heading to the airport, passengers can check the status of their flights through the Air India website (http://airindia.com/in/en/manage/flight-status.html). Air India has also announced that there will be a facility to cancel tickets and reschedule for free.
