On Tuesday, a similar incident took place when an IndiGo Indore-Raipur flight with 51 passengers on board also returned to the airport shortly after takeoff due to a technical fault.
The pilot realised the technical fault in the IndiGo Airlines flight number 6E-7295 after the plane had taken off from Indore and covered a distance of about 60 nautical miles, Indore's Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport director Vipinkant Seth told PTI.

The plane took off from the Indore airport around 6.35 am on Tuesday, and a few minutes later, the pilot informed the Air Traffic Control (ATC), following which it returned due to technical reasons, he said.
The plane did not make an "emergency landing", the airport director claimed, without giving details of the technical fault.
There were 51 passengers on board the plane, he said.

Air India crash: British families ‘receive wrong remains' of victims
Family members of the deceased British nationals in the tragic Air India crash have reportedly been sent the wrong bodies of their loved ones, said a Times of India report quoting the Daily Mail. Two such instances have come up so far where grieving families learnt that some of their loved ones' remains were misidentified before being returned to the UK.

The errors came to light after Dr Fiona Wilcox, an inner west London coroner, began verifying the identities of the repatriated British nationals after cross-checking their DNA with samples provided by families. 'I've been sitting down in the homes of these lovely British families over the last month, and the first thing they want is their loved ones back,' said Healy-Pratt, who is responsible for investigating and uncovering the complete circumstances surrounding the tragedy, reported the Daily Mail. Live Events 'But some of them have got the wrong remains and they are clearly distraught over this. It has been going on for a couple of weeks (and) I think these families deserve an explanation,' he added. "Family X have no-one to bury because it was the wrong person in their casket. And if isn't their relative, the question is, who is it in that coffin? Presumably it's another passenger and their relatives have been given the wrong remains," Pratt said, referring to the family who had to cancel funeral arrangements. The family who received the 'commingled' remains was eventually able to have them separated and proceed with a funeral service, reports the Daily Mail. Although the remains of nearly all the victims are believed to have been recovered within the three days of the incident, the extreme 1500°C heat during the crash left most bodies severely burnt and unrecognizable. Others were mutilated or fragmented by the violent impact of the crash. This meant that a lot of the families received the remains of their near ones in plastic containers, instead of coffins from the Civil Hospital in Ahmedabad, reports the Daily Mail. In the most severe cases, matches were made using dental records to aid in the identification process. After the crash, nearly 40 officials from across Gujarat, including teams from the Directorate of Forensic Science (DFS) and the National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU), worked to match DNA samples. More than 50 experts from departments including Forensic Medicine, Community Medicine, Microbiology, Biochemistry, and Pathology were involved in the testing. At BJ Medical College, rigorous blood sample collection was carried out. Out of the 261 lives lost in Air India Flight 171 that crashed just seconds after takeoff from Ahmedabad en route to London's Gatwick airport, 52 were British citizens. (With TOI inputs)

Doha-bound Air India Express flight returns to Calicut airport 2 hours after take-off due to technical issues
A Doha-bound Air India Express flight was forced to return to Calicut International Airport on Wednesday morning, approximately two hours after its departure, owing to a technical fault, the airline confirmed. The flight, IX 375, carrying 188 passengers including pilots and crew, took off from Calicut at around 9:07 am but landed back at 11:12 am after the crew noticed a technical issue mid-air. 'There was some technical issue in the aircraft's cabin AC. It was not an emergency landing,' an airport official clarified. The passengers were safely deboarded upon return. An Air India Express spokesperson described the return as a 'precautionary landing' due to a technical error. 'One of our flights returned to Kozhikode after take-off due to a technical issue,' the airline spokesperson said in an official statement. The airline acted promptly to manage the disruption. 'We arranged an alternative aircraft on priority, provided the guests with refreshments during the delay and the flight has since departed. We regret the inconvenience and reiterate that safety remains our top priority in every aspect of our operations,' the statement added. Further, the spokesperson reassured passengers that the alternate flight was scheduled to depart by 1:30 pm. 'Till then all arrangements, like food and water, have been made for the passengers at the airport,' the spokesperson confirmed. Air India Express emphasised that it is committed to maintaining the highest standards of passenger safety and operational reliability. Airport officials also indicated that engineers would either rectify the technical issue or an alternative aircraft would be used to complete the journey. This incident adds to the growing list of precautionary landings in recent months, underscoring the importance of stringent safety protocols within Indian aviation. (This is a developing story. More updates to follow.)
