AI flight diverts to Mumbai after pilot reports cabin pressure loss
Air India’s Dubai-Kochi flight was diverted to Mumbai on Thursday after the pilot-in-command reported a loss in cabin pressure, officials of aviation regulator DGCA said.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has grounded the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft and off-rostered this flight’s crew, they said.
It has also started investigating the incident, the officials said.
This is the third instance in the last three days when the aviation regulator grounded a plane after an incident. On Tuesday, Go First’s Mumbai-Leh and Srinagar-Delhi flights faced engine snags and both the planes were grounded by the DGCA.
