Air India plane malfunctions
Prior to flight on Monday evening, an Air India aircraft experienced a mechanical issue at Kochi airport in Kerala. The intended route of the flight was Kochi to Delhi.
A technical issue forced the flight to be canceled, according to Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL). According to Air India’s announcement, a technical issue was discovered during flight AI504’s operation.
In accordance with protocol, the cockpit crew chose not to take off and returned the aircraft to the bay for maintenance checks.
Apart from the mechanical issue, flight AI138’s crew had exceeded their allotted flying duty time, which made it unsafe and illegal for them to continue the trip.
On Saturday, a technical problem was discovered as the aircraft was getting ready to take off, leading to the cancellation of an Air India trip from Milan to Delhi. Apart from the mechanical issue, flight AI138’s crew had exceeded their allotted flying duty time, which made it unsafe and illegal for them to continue the trip.

An Airbus A321 aircraft was scheduled to operate flight number AI504, according to data from the flight tracking website Flightradar24.com. Air India is currently getting ready to send passengers to Delhi on a another plane, according to CIAL.
Hibi Eden, an Ernakulam-based Congress Lok Sabha MP, was also aboard the flight. Eden wrote in a Facebook post,
A technical issue caused the cancellation of the Air India flight from Milan to Delhi.
A mechanical issue during pushback caused Air India’s Milan-Delhi flight to be canceled earlier on Saturday. A maintenance-related issue was discovered during takeoff preparation, the airline announced on Sunday.
It was dangerous and against the rules to take off after the flight crew members’ duty period was up. Additionally, passengers received an apology from Air India for the flight cancelation.
On the Kochi-Delhi flight (AI504), Congress MP Hibi Eden said on social media that he believed the plane had “skidded on the runway.”
Prior to this, mechanical issues had forced the cancellation of two further Air India flights: AI349 from Singapore to Chennai and AI500 from Bhubaneswar to Delhi.
A maintenance problem was found prior to departure and took more time to fix, thus the Chennai-bound service was canceled. A problem that resulted in excessive cabin temperatures while the aircraft was still on the ground led to the cancellation of the Bhubaneswar-Delhi route.
