Air India cancels flight to Hong Kong due to ‘suspected technical issue’

Taking off after a long delay for Hong Kong, an Air India flight carrying more than 200 passengers on Monday returned to the national capital due to a “suspected technical issue” and later, the flight was cancelled, according to officials.

Many of the passengers were accommodated on another carrier’s flight, some were provided hotel accommodation in the national capital, and a full refund was also offered to people who preferred that option, an Air India spokesperson said in a statement.
