An Air India flight to London returned to Delhi on Thursday after a suspected technical issue, the second such problem reported this month with the same aircraft. Flight AI111, operated by an Airbus A350-900, had taken off from Delhi around 6 am for Heathrow. ADVERTISEMENTThe aircraft, registered as VT-JRF, had earlier faced a technical issue on March 15, when a New York–Delhi flight was diverted to Shannon in Ireland. An Air India spokesperson said its flight AI111, operating from Delhi to London on Thursday, made a precautionary air-return to the national capital following a suspected technical issue. Air India started operating A350-900 aircraft from January 2024.
