An Air India pilot turned back his Delhi-bound Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner to Hong Kong airport as a precaution shortly after taking off on Monday, citing a technical issue, Indian media reported.
Flight tracking data showed the pilot turning Flight AI315 around less than 30 minutes into the flight from Hong Kong.
The issue was reported by Indian news agencies IANS and ANI.
“A passenger flight, AI315, operated by Air India from Hong Kong to New Delhi made a return to Hong Kong International Airport and requested local standby at around 1pm today,” a spokesperson for Airport Authority Hong Kong told Newsweek.
“The flight landed safely at around 1:15pm. The airport operations were not affected. Please check with the airlines for details.”
It follows the Air India crash last week in Ahmedabad, India, when a London-bound Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed minutes after taking off, killing 241 people onboard and others in the residential area it hit.
