Air India Flight Enters Pakistani Airspace After Technical Glitch, Returns to India

New Delhi. An Air India passenger plane has been returned to India after becoming uncontrolled due to a technical glitch and entering Pakistan's airspace. The flight was from Delhi to Amritsar. According to airport officials, the Airbus AI-321 aircraft took off from Delhi at 9:18 PM on Monday, which was a few minutes behind its scheduled time. It is reported that during the flight, a technical problem caused the aircraft to deviate from its planned route and enter Pakistan's airspace. After Pakistan's Air Traffic Control (ATC) warned the plane about the border violation, the pilot immediately understood the situation and turned the plane back towards India. However, due to excessive traffic in Amritsar's airspace, the plane was not immediately given landing permission. Then the ATC instructed the plane to return to Delhi again. After the plane landed safely in Delhi, it took off again after about two hours with renewed permission. After taking off again, the plane finally landed safely in Amritsar at 2:20 AM. This incident caused a delay of about four hours for the passengers. Concerned authorities have started an investigation to find out the real reason for the technical problem and deviation from the route. A detailed investigation is underway into how the plane entered Pakistan's airspace.
