NEW DELHI: Following an engine shutdown on Air India’s Delhi-Mumbai flight, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Monday said it will probe the incident.
Earlier in the day, the Mumbai-bound Air India B777-300ER aircraft returned to Delhi shortly after take-off due to a technical issue. The aircraft landed safely at Delhi.
“The AIC 887 (Delhi-Mumbai) was involved in Airturnback as during flap retraction after take-off, the flight crew observed low engine oil pressure on Engine No. 2 (Right-Hand engine), ” the regulator said.
Soon after the take-off, the engine oil pressure dropped to zero. Following the procedure, the crew shutdown the No. 2 engine and the aircraft landed safely at Delhi, it added.
