Air India Scare: AI315 Dreamliner Returns to Hong Kong After Suspected Technical Glitch

An Air India flight, AI315, en route from Hong Kong to Delhi, was forced to return mid-air due to a suspected technical fault. The aircraft, a Boeing Dreamliner 787-8, took off as scheduled but had to turn back shortly after departure when an in-flight issue was detected. Although the nature of the fault has not yet been officially confirmed, early reports suggest a possible technical glitch that prompted the crew to take precautionary action and return to Hong Kong.This development has raised concerns, particularly because the aircraft involved is the same model—Boeing 787-8—that has previously faced scrutiny after incidents involving technical malfunctions. Passengers on board were reportedly safe, and the return was executed smoothly as per standard safety protocols. More details are awaited regarding the specific nature of the issue, the number of passengers onboard, and whether a replacement flight will be arranged.Air India has not yet released an official statement but is expected to conduct a thorough inspection of the aircraft. This incident adds to the growing scrutiny around Air India’s fleet safety, especially in light of previous episodes involving technical faults. ABP News is closely monitoring developments and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
