Snag forces AI flight to return to Dabolim

A Delhi-bound Air India plane, with 168 passengers on board, was forced to make an emergency landing at the Goa International Airport on Monday after the pilots detected a technical fault in the aircraft soon after take-off. The pilots immediately radioed the air traffic control (ATC) at the naval base at Dabolim, seeking priority landing due to the emergency.
"After take-off, the pilots found a technical malfunction on board the aircraft and returned to the airport," airport director Bhupesh Negi said.
Airport sources said flight AI 155, was scheduled to take off at 2.10pm from Goa airport for Delhi, but due to air traffic congestion, it was delayed for nearly two hours and was finally cleared for take-off at around 4pm.
