This incident comes just days after another technical concern involving Air India flight AI117 from Amritsar to Birmingham, where the aircraft’s Ram Air Turbine (RAT) was deployed during landing. The plane landed safely, and the airline promptly grounded the aircraft for inspections, canceling the return flight AI114 and arranging alternatives for passengers.
