Air India Express Flight Returns to Calicut Due to Technical Fault
Imagine a big airplane that was going to fly from Calicut to Doha.
It took off, but after flying for a couple of hours, it had to turn back and land at the same airport.
This was because something wasn't working right in the airplane's air conditioning system.
All the people on the plane got off, and the airline is fixing the plane or getting another one ready so everyone can continue their trip.
They are also providing food and drinks while they wait.
An Air India Express flight from Calicut to Doha returned to Calicut International Airport.
The flight, IX 375, carried 188 people, including crew.
The plane returned two hours after takeoff due to a technical issue with the cabin AC.
Passengers were deboarded, and an alternative flight was planned.
Arrangements for food and water were made for the passengers.
