An Air India aircraft flying from Dubai to Kochi was diverted to Mumbai after the pilot reported "loss of pressure". The pilot managed to land the Boeing 787 flight No. AI-934 safely at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport.
The regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has tasked two senior officers to investigate the incident.
According to a statement, DGCA said: "An incident of low pressure was reported in Air India Boeing Fleet B787, Flight No. AI- 934 (Dubai-Cochin). The flight was diverted to Mumbai and it landed safely. Two senior officers of O/o DAS WR are assigned the task to carry out a preliminary investigation."
This incident comes to the heel of several such frequent engineering-related glitches that were reported in several Indian airlines.
