An Air India flight en route to Delhi was forced to return to Hong Kong mid-air after the pilot suspected a technical issue, according to sources.
Flight AI315, operated using a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, departed Hong Kong at 12.16 pm (local time) and landed safely just over an hour later. The flight was scheduled to land in Delhi at 12.20 pm (IST). All passengers have disembarked, and the aircraft is currently undergoing inspection.
The incident comes just days after another Air India flight to London, also operating a Boeing 787-8, crashed in Ahmedabad shortly after take-off, killing 241 of the 242 people on board.
