Air India London-Hyderabad flight diverted to Ankara due to fuel leak

NEW DELHI: An Air India flight winging its way from London to Hyderabad flight last Thursday (November 11) was diverted to Ankara due to fuel leak.

The Dreamliner (VT-ANB) operating as AI 148 landed safely in Turkish capital.

AI made alternate arrangement for flying passengers of AI 148 from Turkey to India.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is probing this snag.

“AI sent a maintenance team to Ankara for inspecting and carrying out repairs on the Dreamliner. The diversion was due to fuel leak,” said a DGCA official.

This aircraft flew to Delhi last Saturday (November 13).

Comments have been sought from AI and are awaited.
