Due to a technical fault in the Air India Express flight going from Trichy, Tamil Nadu to Sharjah, the Air India Express flight was in the air for three hours. Due to the wisdom of the pilot, the plane made an emergency landing at Trichy Airport. There were 141 passengers on board the plane. All passengers are safe.
The flight with 144 passengers took off at 5.40 pm and a malfunction was reported soon after. The plane was asked to return. Since it was not advisable to attempt a safe landing with full fuel, the pilots spilled some of the fuel from the aircraft while flying around the airport. After this an emergency landing was made.
