On June 17, Air India’s Boeing 777‑200LR flight AI180 from San Francisco to Mumbai encountered a left‑engine snag during its scheduled stop at Kolkata’s Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Airport. Landing on time at 00:45 IST, the aircraft experienced a technical glitch, delaying its onward journey. Around 05:20 IST, the captain ordered all passengers to deplane as a precautionary safety measure. Ground crews inspected the idle jet while arrangements were made to rebook travelers. There were no injuries. The incident follows a troubling streak for the national carrier: a Delhi‑bound Dreamliner returned mid‑air from Hong Kong yesterday and a separate Dreamliner crash in Ahmedabad recently claimed nearly 270 lives.
