As of now, Mumbai airport authorities are citing technical glitches as one of the prime reasons for an emergency landing. As the pilot landed the flight safely, no injuries and deaths were reported.
The cargo flight apparently had eight passengers and other staff members including pilots.
Incident details-
The Incident occurred on 8th Nov, the Ethiopian airline ET690 was scheduled to fly from Riyadh ( Saudi Arabia), to Bangalore (India). The flight left Riyadh at 10:23 local time and began the roughly 4.5 hours to Bangalore. However, after Two and half hours later into the flight, just off the west coast of India, plane took a northward turn for diversion towards Mumbai..
Aircrafts safely landed an hour after the turn at Mumbai airport at 17:14 local time, 4hr and 20 min after taking off from Riyadh,( data from flight radar). The aircraft has not taken off yet from Mumbai, after 20 hr since the incident.
About Incident Aircraft-
The plane involved in the Incident registered as ET-ATY, is a 3.8 years old. The plane was delivered new to the Ehopian airline in Jan 2017.
The aircraft suffered a hydraulic leak while 160nm away from Mumbai, no further details are currently known. The crew decided to quickly divert to Mumbai and did so in an hour after detecting the fault it's great decision by crew.
The plane will now likely undergo heavy maintenance before returning to Ethiopian airline.
Another Incident-
30 min Air Arabia flight put on hold for 4 hours.
It's quite unbelievable that 30 min flight was put on hold upto 4 hours. But it happened on 2nd Nov, an air Arabia flight from Tangiers to Nador experienced severe delays due to bad wheather conditions.
Incident details-
The Incident takes place on 2nd Nov 2020 and involved a routine and short domestic flight from Tangier to Nador ( Morocco). The Air Arabia A320 registered as CN-NMG, operating flight 30726, took off from Tangier for Nador with 50 passengers on board.
The wheather reports show that the Airport was trapped under thick layer of fog with around 200m of visibility. So the crew decided to hold on holding pattern till wheather improved.
The Aircraft landed safely at 10:40 local time after 4 hours of holding pattern.
Aviation updates-
1.Go air flight from Delhi to Srinagar made an emergency landing at the Chandigarh international airport after a passenger developed a some health problem.
The go air flight took off from Delhi at 11:30 and landed safely at Chandigarh around 12:15. Now the passenger recover from heart attack properly.
2. Boeing b737 max Aircrafts grounded by FAA due to safety issues all the way back into March 2018, grounding could be lifted as early as possible may be Nov 18, that's next week.
As per Boeing officials- this process will be finished in the coming days, once the agency is satisfied that Boeing has addressed the multiple safety issues that were present for the past two years.
The eventual ungrounding of the b737 max which is now looking closer than ever is one of the major steps in Boeing recovery.
Approving the b737 is obviously fantastic moment for the Boeing as well FAA. But it doesn't mean specifically airlines will flying it by Nov 18. Airlines still need to comply with various requirements which put in place for the re-certification process. This will be Takes the months for completion probably as per now the aircraft will be back in the sky by Mid-2021.
Now in India spice jet and DGCA started training for pilots. And waiting for FAA clearence to unground the 15 spice jet b737 max Aircrafts.
