An Air India Express flight bound for Phuket, Thailand, made an emergency return to Hyderabad just 16 minutes after takeoff on Saturday (July 19). Flight IX110, operated by a Boeing 737 Max 8 (registration VT-BWA), departed Rajiv Gandhi International Airport at 6:40 am, around 20 minutes behind its scheduled time of 6:20 am, but soon had to abort its journey due to a technical issue.
