Another Air India plane has made an emergency landing. An Air India spokesperson said that flight AI887 from Delhi to Mumbai on December 22 was landed back at Delhi airport as per standard operating procedure due to a technical glitch after take-off.
However, the plane landed safely in Delhi and the passengers and crew members came out of the plane safely. Immediately after take-off on Monday morning, one of the engines of the plane stopped, after which it had to land back in Delhi. Since twin-engine aircraft can land safely even on one engine, VT-ALS returned to Delhi without incident. According to flight tracking sites, the plane took off for Mumbai as AI 887 at 6.10 am and returned around 6.52 am.
What information did the airline provide?
An Air India spokesperson said, “On December 22, the crew of flight AI 887 from Delhi to Mumbai, as per standard operating procedure, decided to return to Delhi immediately after take-off due to a technical glitch. The aircraft landed safely in Delhi and passengers and crew have been deboarded. Air India sincerely apologizes for the inconvenience caused due to this unexpected situation.”
The airline also said that necessary checks of the aircraft are being carried out and the Air India ground team in Delhi is providing immediate assistance to the passengers and alternative arrangements have been made to reach their destination soon.
