Smoke from AC coach halts Jayanti Express at Nandalur station

Tension gripped the passengers on the Kanyakumari–Pune Jayanti Express on Sunday after thick smoke billowed out from one of the AC coaches while passing through Nandalur station in Annamayya district on the Renigunta-Guntakal section. According to information, smoke was noticed beneath the B2 AC coach when the train was negotiating a curve. This led to panic among the passengers, who immediately passed on the information to the train guard, following which the train was brought to a sudden halt at Nandalur station. The technical teams rushed to the spot and conducted inspections. The crew rectified the snag, which was attributed to friction in the brake system. After a thorough safety check, the train resumed its journey with a minor delay.

Air India Express flight aborts journey to Phuket: Snag reported at 10,000 feet; alternate aircraft flown

HYDERABAD: An Air India Express flight bound for Phuket, Thailand, returned to the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) here less than half an hour after take-off due to a technical snag. The aircraft was carrying more than 100 people, including passengers and the crew. The Boeing aircraft, operating as IX 110, had already experienced a 20-minute delay at the airport. Originally scheduled for a 6.20 am departure, the flight took off at 6.40 am but returned by 6.57 am.

GMR authorities told TOI that Air India arranged for an alternative flight for the passengers which reached Phuket at 11.45 am. 'Safety of flyers our top priority' Airport officials added that after take-off, the pilots noticed the technical issue at 6.49 am. "The crew elected to return out of an abundance of caution. An alternative aircraft was arranged, and the flight has since departed. We regret the inconvenience caused and reiterate that safety remains our top priority in every aspect of our operations," said an Air India Express spokesperson. A month ago, a Tirupati-bound flight from Hyderabad had faced a similar situation. On June 19, a SpiceJet aircraft carrying 80 passengers had returned 10 minutes after departure due to intermittent illumination of baggage door light.
