New Delhi: A Paris-bound Air India flight returned to the national capital shortly after the take-off on Friday afternoon, following a sighting of suspected tyre debris on the runway after departure.
In a statement, the airline said the flight landed safely at Delhi airport at 1418 hours.
”Flight AI143 operating Delhi-Paris on 28 July 2023 air-returned shortly after take-off, following the Delhi ATC’s information to flight crew about suspected tyre debris sighted on the runway after departure,” it said.
Sources in the know said the aircraft had apparently suffered a tyre burst and that there were more than 200 passengers onboard the plane.
