A flight headed to Ranchi from Delhi was forced to turn back on Monday after a possible technical problem arose, marking the fourth such incident in the past 36 hours where flights encountered emergencies mid-air. The aircraft was originally set to land at Birsa Munda Airport at 6:20 pm.
An Air India Express spokesperson confirmed the diversion, stating that the flight returned to Delhi post-takeoff due to a suspected technical issue. Following necessary inspections and clearance, the plane resumed its normal operations.
Other recent incidents include a British F-35 fighter jet making an emergency landing in Kerala due to low fuel, a Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt to Hyderabad turning back mid-air due to a bomb threat, and an Air India flight from Hong Kong to Delhi returning to its origin due to a suspected technical problem on Monday.
