An AirAsia India flight carrying 168 passengers and six crew members returned minutes after taking off from the Cochin International Airport here, airport sources said on Monday.
The Kochi-Bengaluru flight, which left for Bengaluru on Sunday night, suffered a technical problem soon after take-off at 11.15pm, sources said.
“An AIX Connect flight departing from Kochi for Bengaluru, returned after take-off due to a minor technical issue. The actions of the crew were in line with the airline protocol of placing safety above all,” an AIX Connect Spokesperson said.
