An Air India flight, scheduled to depart for London from Ahmedabad, was cancelled on Tuesday due to technical issues.
According to the details, the Air India flight AI 159 had arrived from New Delhi to Ahmedabad and was scheduled to take off to London.
This was the second Ahmedabad to London Air India flight to have encountered a technical glitch, after another one crashed near the Ahmedabad airport on June 12, killing 241 of 242 onboard.
On Monday, another of the carrier's flights was cancelled after facing delays caused by operational issues, eventually leading to the expiry of the crew's duty time.
News agency ANI quoted sources and reported that Air India's flight AI2493 from Mumbai to Ahmedabad was supposed to be operated by an Airbus A321-211 aircraft (VT-PPL).
Early on Tuesday, an Air India flight from San Francisco to Mumbai suffered a technical glitch in one of its engines.
All passengers on the flight were asked to deplane at the Kolkata airport, where the flight had arrived for a layover.
On Monday, an Air India Express flight from Delhi to Ranchi was diverted back to the national capital shortly after taking off, due to a suspected technical issue.
Before that, an Air India flight returned to Hong Kong shortly after takeoff due to a midair technical issue.
Air India said in a statement that the New Delhi-bound plane landed in Hong Kong safely and was undergoing checks 'as a matter of abundant precaution."
Meanwhile, four days after the deadliest crash in the country in three decades claimed 270 lives, 119 victims have so far been identified through DNA matching with their family members, authorities said.
They also said that the mortal remains of 76 of them, including that of former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani, were handed over to their families.
The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner (AI171) crashed into some buildings in the BJ Medical College campus and burst into flames moments after it took off from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport.
One passenger survived the disaster.
