Air India flight returns to Kolkata after passenger falls ill midair
KOLKATA: (Jun 27) An Air India flight operating on the Vancouver-Kolkata-Delhi sector on Thursday returned to Kolkata shortly after take-off due to a medical emergency on board, an official said.
The flight AI 186 from Vancouver, with 162 passengers and crew on board, had landed in Kolkata for its scheduled “technical halt” and took off for Delhi later.
Due to the ongoing geopolitical events, including the closure of Pakistani airspace, have led AI to reroute some of its international flights and take a "technical halt" in Kolkata.
