Dubai-bound SpiceJet flight returns Mumbai minutes after take-off due to technical glitch

Mumbai: A SpiceJet aircraft on Thursday returned to Mumbai airport soon after taking-off for Dubai following technical glitch. The snag was rectified by airline engineers and the plane resumed the journey to Dubai after a delay of four hours. All passengers are said to be safe. On a related note, on January 6, a Dubai bound Air India express flight from Mumbai, carrying as many as 180 passengers on board, landed back under the emergency condition due to a “hydraulic” failure.
