After a cabin issue of low pressure was detected, an Air India Boeing Fleet B787, Flight No. AI- 934 from Dubai to Cochin was diverted to Mumbai.

The DGCA will carry out further investigation into the incident.
Third Incident Of Air India Plane In The Last Week
This incident is the third one in the last week with respect to Air India Planes. A burning odour in the cabin caused Air India Express’s Calicut-Dubai flight to be diverted to Muscat earlier on July 17.The vent in the pilots’ and forward galley, according to the authorities, is where the burning smell was coming from. The second incident took place on 15th July where a live bird was found in the cockpit of the Air India Bahrain-Kochi flight. These days there have been multiple issues with Indian carriers and that is a matter of concern. The DGCA issued a show-cause notice to SpiceJet on July 6 in response to at least eight incidents of mechanical fault in its aircraft since June 19.
