An Air India flight headed for Kathmandu turns back to Delhi after the airline reports a technical issue. According to accounts from outlets, the aircraft does not continue to Nepal and instead is redirected to return to the Indian capital.
Air India also says that passengers are handled via alternative arrangements. One report states that passengers are flown onward to Kathmandu using another aircraft, indicating the airline is trying to minimize disruption for travelers. The coverage broadly attributes the cause to a technical problem, with at least one outlet describing it as a suspected technical or technical/technology-related issue.
The two reports differ mainly in wording and emphasis—one describes the problem as a “technical issue,” while the other frames it as a “suspected tech issue.” Both, however, agree on the core sequence: the Delhi-bound turn-around and the subsequent rerouting of passengers to Kathmandu using an alternative aircraft.
