Air India's Sharjah-bound Flight Facing Tech Issue, Circling Over Trichy For Nearly 2 Hours


A Sharjah-bound Air India Flight has been circling over the city of Trichy in Tamil Nadu for nearly two hours, according to reports. The aircraft, with 141 passengers on board, encountered a landing gear issue after it took off from Trichy Airport. The aircraft is currently circling to burn off fuel.

Preparations are underway for a potential belly landing, with 18 fire engines on standby.

Trichy Airport Director Gopalakrishnan said that the Air India flight from Trichy to Sharjah faced a technical problem (Hydraulic failure) and is rounding in air space to decrease the fuel before landing at Trichy airport. More than 20 Ambulances and fire tenders are placed at the airport to make sure no big accident occurs, he added.

More details are awaited.
