Air India Delhi–Mumbai flight returns to Delhi after technical issue

New Delhi: An Air India flight bound for Mumbai returned to Delhi shortly after take-off on Monday after the crew detected a technical issue, Air India spokesperson said.

On Monday, pilots observed a low engine oil pressure on the B777-300ER aircraft’s ‍right-hand engine during flaps retraction after take-off. The pressure shortly thereafter dropped to zero and the crew shut ‍down the engine ⁠and turned back ⁠as per procedure, the DGCA said.
