The Flight En Route to Chennai Returned to Mumbai as a Precautionary Measure

- HT Correspondent

MUMBAI: A Chennai-bound Air India flight, an Airbus A321, was forced to return to Mumbai on Saturday after a "burning smell" was detected in the cabin.

The aircraft, however, landed safely, Air India said in a statement.

"Air India flight AI 639, operating from Mumbai to Chennai, on Friday, June 27, made a precautionary air-return to Mumbai due to a burning smell in the cabin," the airline said in a statement.

The flight landed "safely" back in Mumbai, and an aircraft change was initiated, Air India said without giving specific details.

The airline further said its ground teams in Mumbai provided all necessary support to passengers to minimize the inconvenience caused by this unforeseen disruption.

The incident comes amid growing scrutiny of Air India's operational safety, following a series of technical snags and emergency returns throughout June.
