Air India Flight 315, headed for New Delhi, returned to Hong Kong about an hour after takeoff on Monday, as reported by Reuters. This follows a recent incident where an Air India 787-8 crashed in Ahmedabad just seconds after departure, resulting in the deaths of 241 out of 242 passengers. According to Air India, the aircraft that returned had &#8220;a technical issue&#8221; and was being inspected &#8220;as a precaution.&#8221; The airline did not provide additional details. One pilot informed air traffic control that they preferred to stay closer to Hong Kong until the issue was resolved. The seven-year-old plane took off from Hong Kong at 12:20 p.m., reached an altitude of 22,000 feet before descending, requested permission to return around 1:00 p.m., and landed safely at 1:15 p.m., according to a representative from Airport Authority Hong Kong. Following this incident, Indian authorities mandated extra safety checks on all Boeing 787s operated by Air India; however, neither Boeing nor the Indian government has called for grounding these jets. Globally, there are approximately 360 Boeing 787-8s in operation with American Airlines having the largest fleet. Air India arranged alternative travel for passengers heading to New Delhi as per reports from the Associated Press.
