"Our Kolkata-Hindon flight operated, with a delay, due to a snag on the originally assigned aircraft. Guests were offered complimentary rescheduling or cancellation with a full refund. We regret the inconvenience," an Air India Express spokesperson told ANI.

The airline did not specify the nature of the technical problem but ensured the flight operated after necessary arrangements were made.

Meanwhile, following a directive from DGCA mandating enhanced safety checks on Air India's Boeing 787-8 and 787-9 fleet, the airline on Saturday stated that inspections on 22 out of its 33 Dreamliner aircraft have been completed. The remaining 11 aircraft are on track to be inspected within the timeline, officials said.
