Directorate General of Civil Aviation announced on Friday that a Kozhikode-bound Air India Express flight from Abu Dhabi returned to the airport after flames were observed in one of the engines shortly after takeoff.
According to Air India Express, the plane landed smoothly and all passengers are unharmed.
According to DGCA, there were 184 passengers on board when the flight departed.
“Soon after taking off and climbing to 1,000 feet, the pilot saw a flame in one of the engines and decided to go back to Abu Dhabi airport.
DGCA said that an Air India Express B737-800 plane had a fire in the air and had to return to the Abu Dhabi airport.
“Today, an Air India Express B737-800 plane, VT-AYC, on flight IX 348 from Abu Dhabi to Calicut had to make an Airturnback because the No. 1 engine caught fire at 1,000 feet while climbing,” DGCA said.
Officials said that a technical problem caused an Air India Express flight from Trivandrum to Muscat to land back 45 minutes after taking off.

In December 2022, an Air India Express flight to Dubai had a snake on board.
The Calicut to Dubai Air India Express Boeing B-737 flight left on time, and when it landed at the Dubai airport, the staff said there was a snake on board.
The group in charge of regulating aviation had asked for a thorough investigation into what happened.
A few weeks before this, an Air India Express flight from Thiruvananthapuram to Muscat had to turn back after taking off because of a problem with the computers on board. Flight IX 549, which took off at 8:30 a.m. from the state capital of Kerala, went back to the international airport at 9:17 a.m. because of a technical problem.
