Mumbai, India: An Air India flight from Mumbai to Jodhpur was forced to abort its take-off on Friday after the cockpit crew detected an operational issue during the departure roll. The aircraft, operating as Flight AI645, was returned safely to the bay, according to the airline. Air India said in a statement that the pilots acted in line with standard operating procedures (SOPs) and discontinued the take-off as a precautionary measure. Passengers were deplaned and provided with alternative travel arrangements to reach their destination. Ground staff assisted passengers during the delay to minimize inconvenience. A passenger told PTI, cited by Hindustan Times, that the aircraft came to a halt suddenly after rolling for take-off, which created concern among those onboard. The passenger suggested that an engine-related problem might have caused the stoppage, though the airline has described it more broadly as an “operational issue.” The incident follows another disruption earlier in the week when Air India’s Zurich–Delhi flight (AI152) was cancelled on August 17 after a technical snag. Zurich Airport’s strict night curfew compounded the cancellation, forcing the airline to arrange hotel accommodation and offer either rescheduling or refunds for stranded passengers. Since its privatization in January 2022, Air India has stepped up inspections of its aircraft fleet. While these checks have not revealed systemic faults, they have occasionally led to flight delays and cancellations. The airline maintains that these measures are aimed at strengthening operational reliability and ensuring passenger safety, even if they result in temporary disruptions.

New Delhi, India: All airports across India have been placed on high alert following a directive issued by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) in response to intelligence inputs warning of a possible terror attack. The advisory, issued to all airport operators, calls for maximum vigilance from September 22 to October 2 and includes all airports, airstrips, helipads, flight schools, training institutes and other civil aviation installations across the country. The alert is based on intelligence suggesting a possible threat originating from a Pakistani-based terror group. The BCAS circular instructs airport operators to implement heightened security protocols, including intensified passenger screening, strict ID verification of staff and vendors, continuous CCTV monitoring, and increased patrolling of sensitive airport zones such as parking areas and terminal entry points. The advisory is part of routine precautionary measures often issued around national holidays or major events. Such alerts are typically seen during Independence Day, Republic Day, and large-scale religious festivals like Durga Puja. All regional airport directors have received the advisory and are complying with the enhanced security measures. Passengers are being advised to arrive earlier than usual for their flights due to extended screening procedures, though no disruptions to commercial operations have been reported so far. The BCAS has directed all security agencies, including the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Intelligence Bureau (IB), state police, and airport management, to maintain strict coordination and ensure there are no lapses in any security procedures. Additional emergency drills and mock exercises are being conducted to test the preparedness of all involved agencies. Airport operators have also been instructed to improve baggage screening, carry out random checks at terminal entry gates, and ensure real-time sharing of any suspicious activity. Airport staff have been told to be extra vigilant in identifying unattended items and reporting any irregularities without delay.
