AI126 from Chicago in Delhi returned to the United States, and on this day the airline stated that the air return came from the technical issue.
A few days after his aircraft related to Delhi returned to Chicago (USA), Air India showed that the incident had happened to unwanted toilets. The airline said her probe found that the bags, rags and clothes were dissolved and stuck in the plumbing. In a detailed statement about the return of AI126 AI126, Air India said on Monday that for about an hour and forty-five minutes, the crew reported that some devices in business and economy class would be unnecessary. “After eight out of 12, the aircraft’s toilets became unwanted, which caused discomfort for everyone on board,” the statement reads.
So far, the aircraft overcame the Atlantic, leaving points in Europe as potential cities to distract. However, due to the restrictions on night operations in most European airports, it was decided to take back to Chicago, said Air India, and added that the decision on the distraction was taken completely in the interests of the comfort and safety of passengers. “We know about some reports on social media about unnecessary toilets on AI126, working with Chicago in Delhi on March 05, 2025, which led to the transfer of the flight to its origin at the Chicago O’Hare International Airport.
“We would like to confirm that in the framework of our investigation, our teams found bags, rags and clothes that were thrown and stuck in plumbing. It made the laverers become undesirable,” the statement said.
