On Tuesday, an Air India flight that was flying between Delhi and Bengaluru was compelled to land in Bhopal unplanned after a suspected technical problem was detected during the flight, the airline confirmed. The plane, which was flight AI2487, safely landed at the Bhopal airport where it was subjected to precautionary maintenance. The airline spokesperson claimed that the process of rectification would be done over a long period because the engineers conducted a thorough check up to be able to establish safety before resuming operations.
Air India is also sorry to inconvenience the passengers because of such a rare occurrence. Our ground staff in Bhopal is also rendering instant help and support to all the affected passengers. The airline is working assiduously in order to make them arrive to their destination within the shortest time possible, the airline stated in an official statement.
The spokesperson also repeated once again that passenger safety is the number one priority of Air India. The airline promised that precautionary landings are a norm when technical anomalies are suspected and the move was in the best interest of all people on board.
In another case, another Air India plane, which was on a flight between San Francisco and New Delhi, had to make an emergency landing at Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, due to the crew having detected a possible technical fault on their way. The plane made a safe landing and all the passengers were offloaded. Travelers were given accommodation in hotels as technical inspections were being done.
The airline stressed the fact that wherever the two cases occurred, they were dealt with in strict adherence to safety procedures. Security and health of our passengers and crew are of utmost importance and our teams are busy in ensuring that disruptions are reduced to the bare minimum, Air India added.
The two accidents point to the conservative attitude of Air India towards the safety of its operations, with observers pointing out that precautionary landings, though annoying, demonstrate the insistence of the Airline on ensuring that flight safety and reliability remain on the high standards.
