The Doha-bound Air India Express flight with 188 onboard returned to Calicut two hours after take-off due to a cabin AC anomaly, the airline arranged an alternate aircraft New Delhi An Air India Express flight from Calicut to Doha had to return to the airport on Wednesday morning because of a technical problem, news agency PTI reported. Flight IX 375 took off from Calicut International Airport at 9.07 am with 188 people onboard, including crew members. Around two hours later, at 11.12 am, it came back to the same airport. 'There was a technical problem with the cabin air conditioning. It was not an emergency landing,' an airport official told PTI. Passengers were safely taken off the aircraft. An Air India Express spokesperson said the aircraft landed as a safety measure. 'It was a precautionary landing due to a technical fault. We'll arrange an alternate flight by 1.30 pm,' he said, adding that food and water have been provided to passengers at the airport while they wait. Delhi to Kolkata flight aborts take-off On Monday (July 21), an Air India flight from Delhi to Kolkata had to stop its take-off due to a technical issue spotted during the process. The aircraft, flight AI2403, had 160 passengers. The plane was stopped on the runway at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi so safety checks could be done. Following standard safety rules, the cockpit crew decided not to continue with the take-off. All passengers were safely removed from the plane after it was brought to a halt. Air India plane skids off Mumbai runway At Mumbai airport the same day, an Air India A320neo aircraft skidded off the runway under the impact of heavy rainfall. The plane went into an unpaved area briefly before coming back onto the runway. All passengers and crew safely exited the aircraft after it reached the terminal. The aircraft has been grounded. The main runway suffered slight damage. As such, the Mumbai airport authority (MIAL) activated a secondary runway for operations. Air India finds no issues in Boeing 787, 737 Air India said on Tuesday (July 22) that it had completed safety checks on all Boeing 787 and 737 aircraft in its fleet. These checks focused on the locking mechanism of the Fuel Control Switch (FCS), and no problems were found. The checks were done after India's aviation regulator, DGCA, ordered all airlines flying these models to inspect the FCS and report findings by July 21. This came after a crash involving a Boeing 787 on June 12 in Ahmedabad, in which over 260 people were killed. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) released a preliminary report stating that in flight AI171, the fuel control switches went from 'run' to 'cutoff' shortly after take-off. This caused both engines to fail, and the plane crashed in the Meghani Nagar area of Ahmedabad. [With agency inputs]

Gautam Adani's BIG move, to spend Rs 960000000000 in…, what's business plan for next 5 years?
Adani Group's Airport Business Expansion: The Adani Group is aggressively expanding its airport business, with plans to invest nearly Rs 1 lakh crore over the next five years. The group, led by billionaire Gautam Adani, operates seven airports in India, including the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) in Mumbai. The Navi Mumbai International Airport is expected to be added to this list by October this year. Investment Strategy For Next Five Years Jeet Adani, 27-year-old son of Gautam Adani and head of the group's airport business, told the Times of India that the company has laid out a five-year plan involving investments of Rs 95,000–96,000 crore across airport infrastructure and real estate development. 'The majority of this investment will go into the Navi Mumbai and Mumbai airports, as well as real estate developments in both locations,' Jeet Adani said. Adani Group New Terminals Plan Adani Group also has plans to build new terminals over the next four years in cities like Ahmedabad, Jaipur, and Thiruvananthapuram, while the recently built terminal in Lucknow will be expanded. A new terminal in Guwahati is already ready and expected to become operational by October–November this year. Jeet Adani clarified that the group has no plans to expand abroad for now. 'We see tremendous opportunities within India and don't want to dilute our focus. At the end of the day, it's about our management bandwidth and where we want to deploy capital. India is poised for significant growth over the next 10–15 years,' he said. He also noted that 26 airports in India have already been identified for development under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. Investment In Navi Mumbai Airport Adani Group has merged Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) project. Instead of launching with a 1 crore passenger annual capacity (CPA), it will now begin operations with a 2 crore CPA. The airport is being developed with an investment of Rs 19,000 crore, and work on Terminal 2 has already begun.

Ghaziabad cops open DME for morning rush, close Delhi lanes by noon again
Noida: In a day marked by traffic flip-flops, the Delhi-Meerut Expressway's (DME) carriageway to the capital witnessed an unusual pattern of closures on Tuesday, as cops juggled between managing the kanwar pilgrim rush and addressing commuter woes during peak hours. Traffic police initially shut the carriageway early on Tuesday morning, blocking entry points at Khoda, ABES College, Crossings Republik, Dasna, and Bhojpur. However, facing pressure from office-goers during rush hour, the cops temporarily reopened the expressway between 10am and noon, only to close it again as pilgrim numbers swelled. The closure forced Delhi-bound traffic onto NH-9 — running parallel to DME — resulting in significant congestion. The situation affected regular commuters to Delhi who depend on the expressway for their travel.

While we initially restricted light vehicle movement from Tuesday morning, we had to temporarily relax the curbs when numerous office-goers pleaded access citing work commitments," said Ziauddin Ahmad, ACP (traffic) in Ghaziabad. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Dubai villas | search ads Get Deals Undo The restrictions, reimposed from noon, are expected to continue through Wednesday, with authorities monitoring pilgrim numbers for possible relaxation. While light showers provided some relief by keeping traffic volumes low, congestion persisted at DME exit points in Noida and Ghaziabad, where pilgrims merging onto city roads created bottlenecks. At Model Town crossing, groups of pilgrims, many dancing to DJ music, added to the traffic slowdown as they entered Noida. Among the pilgrims was Arjun Singh from New Ashok Nagar in Delhi, who made the journey to Haridwar on motorcycle. "The journey is long, but the spirit of devotion keeps us going. The chants of 'Har Har Mahadev' echo throughout, making the journey easy," he said. Kanwar pilgrims typically use three major routes in Ghaziabad — a 25km stretch along Pipeline Road from Loni Border to Niwari, a 42.5km route from Kadrabad to UP Gate via GT Road, and the DME, which remains popular among 'Dak Kanwariyas' — pilgrims using vehicles from western Uttar Pradesh to Haridwar and back. On Monday too, all expressway entry points were closed around 11.30am but were opened after an hour due to limited pilgrim presence and mounting traffic snarls.
