Air India Dubai-Kochi flight suffers cabin pressurisation loss; masks deployed, plane diverted safely to Mumbai
NEW DELHI: An Air India Boeing 787 winging its way from Dubai to Kochi on Thursday with almost 250 people on board experienced cabin pressurisation loss, that led to deployment of masks on the Dreamliner.
Reporting this issue, the pilots decided to divert to Mumbai where flight AI-934 landed safely with everyone on board unharmed.
While ordering a probe, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has grounded the aircraft (VT-ANE) and off-rostered (taken off flying duty) the crew.
This is the latest in a series of snags being faced by Indian carriers in past few months.
