Air India Milan-Delhi Flight Cancelled After Technical Issue Detected Pre-Take-Off
New Delhi: An Air India flight from Milan to Delhi was cancelled on Saturday after a technical issue was detected just as the aircraft was preparing for take-off. In addition to the maintenance concern, the crew of flight AI138 had reached their mandatory flight duty time limit, making it unsafe and impermissible for them to proceed with the journey. 'Flight AI138 operating from Milan to Delhi on 16 August was cancelled due to a maintenance task identified during pushback, and subsequently due to the crew coming under the mandatory flight duty time limitation norms,' said an Air India spokesperson in a statement. The airline expressed regret over the inconvenience caused to passengers due to the last-minute cancellation. 'Air India sincerely regrets the inconvenience caused to passengers due to this unforeseen cancellation. Our ground team in Milan extended immediate assistance to all affected passengers, providing hotel accommodation and offering full refunds on cancellation or complimentary rescheduling as opted by the passengers,' the spokesperson added. Air India confirmed that alternative travel arrangements were being organised for those affected. 'At Air India, the safety and well-being of our passengers and crew remain top priority,' the spokesperson said. In a separate incident on Sunday, a Delhi-bound Air India flight from Kochi aborted take-off due to another technical issue. The departure was rescheduled to 1 a.m. on Monday, and Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL) was informed that the airline would be changing the aircraft for the flight. Congress MP Hibi Eden, who was on board the Kochi-Delhi flight (AI504), posted on social media that he felt the aircraft had 'skidded on the runway'. Earlier, two other Air India flights, AI349 from Singapore to Chennai and AI500 from Bhubaneswar to Delhi, were also cancelled due to technical problems. The Chennai-bound service was called off after a maintenance issue was discovered before departure, which required additional time to rectify. The Bhubaneswar-Delhi flight was cancelled due to an issue that caused high cabin temperatures while the aircraft was still on the ground.

‘Felt like it skid on runway': Cong MP's experience on Air India flight aborted before take-off in Kochi
Congress MP Hibi Eden, who was travelling on an Air India flight from Kochi to Delhi, recounted his experience after the take-off was aborted due to a technical problem. He said he felt 'something unusual' and that 'it just felt like the flight skid on the runway'. Air India said flight AI 504, scheduled to depart Cochin International Airport at 10:40 pm, faced a technical issue during its take-off roll.(REUTERS file) The airline later confirmed on Sunday night that flight AI 504, scheduled to depart Cochin International Airport at 10:40 pm, encountered a technical issue during its take-off roll. 'Something unusual with this flight ✈️ AI 504, it just felt like the flight skid on the runway and hasn't taken off yet. Air India cancelled AI 504 and announced a new flight at 1 am which hasn't still started boarding, today is the third flight which has been AOG,' Eden posted on X. He also shared a photograph on Facebook from inside the aircraft, noting that the take-off had been aborted midway. 'The cockpit crew decided to discontinue the take-off run, following Standard Operating Procedures and brought the aircraft back to bay for maintenance checks,' an Air India spokesperson explained. According to the airline, a replacement aircraft was being arranged to operate the flight, which would depart at a later time. 'All passengers have disembarked and our ground colleagues in Kochi are extending support to them. The inconvenience caused to the passengers due to this unforeseen situation is sincerely regretted. At Air India, the safety and wellbeing of passengers and crew remain our top priority,' the airline added. Congress MP KC Venugopal's 'near-miss runway tragedy' claim Hibi Eden's Air India flight experience comes just days after Congress MP KC Venugopal wrote to the Union Civil Aviation Minister, seeking a probe into alleged safety lapses on the Trivandrum-Delhi Air India flight of August 8, on which he and other MPs were passengers. In his letter, shared by ANI, Venugopal reiterated his runway scare claim, stating that the pilot aborted landing at Chennai airport when the aircraft was 'only 30-40 feet' above the ground. Venugopal said the flight, callsign AI 2455, encountered turbulence shortly after departing from Thiruvananthapuram. According to the aircraft left at around 8 pm and landed in Chennai at around 10.35 pm on Sunday. Posting on X shortly after 12 am on Monday, the Congress MP said the flight, carrying several fellow MPs, came 'frighteningly close to tragedy' and was saved by 'skill and luck' following the captain's 'quick decision'. Air India on August 11 rejected Venugopal's claim that the Thiruvananthapuram-Delhi flight AI 2455 experienced a 'heart-stopping' incident because another plane was on the same runway when it attempted to land at Chennai airport, where it had been diverted. The airline clarified that during the first landing attempt, ATC instructed the pilots to perform a go-around after another aircraft departing the same runway reported suspected foreign object debris (FOD) on it. Referring to the June 12 Air India crash, Venugopal described the incident as 'deeply concerning,' adding that it 'raises serious questions about passenger safety protocols, operational decision-making, and the airline's approach to transparency.'
