Bengaluru: Passengers on board Bengaluru-New Delhi Air India flight AI 503 faced a harrowing time after a drop in cabin pressure in the aircraft forced pilots to make an emergency landing in Hyderabad.
The flight, which left Bengaluru at 5pm and landed in Hyderabad around 7:30pm, was grounded for further inspection. All 148 passengers on board were accommodated on a different flight, AI 127, which left Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Hyderabad, for New Delhi around 11pm.
Air India officials pointed out that the flight was diverted to Hyderabad as a ‘precautionary measure’, keeping the safety of passengers in mind.
“The pilots on board the aircraft noticed a slight drop in cabin pressure around 7:30pm. As soon as the pressure went down, they diverted the flight to Hyderabad as a precautionary measure and as per Standard Operating Procedure... The aircraft was then grounded and is currently at the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility at the Hyderabad airport.
