Boston, United States: An American Airlines flight to Philadelphia was forced to return to Boston Logan International Airport on Sunday evening after the crew declared a mayday due to multiple system malfunctions, according to federal regulators and air traffic control recordings. The flight, identified as American Airlines Flight 2616, departed Boston Logan at approximately 6:45 p.m. on August 17, 2025, en route to Philadelphia. About ten minutes after departure, the captain radioed a mayday, citing significant automation failures. In audio captured by LiveATC.net, the pilot said: “We’ve had multiple failures including navigation and automation. We’ve lost the autopilot, lost the auto-thrust, and have a disagreement between both flight management systems.” The aircraft involved was a 2013 Airbus A321-211, carrying about 200 passengers and more than three hours of fuel. Flight-tracking data showed the jet circled briefly before returning to Logan, where it landed safely at approximately 7:30 p.m. local time. No injuries were reported. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed the emergency. In a statement the agency said: “The crew of American Airlines Flight 2616 declared an emergency and returned to Logan International Airport after reporting multiple flight system issues. The aircraft landed safely.” American Airlines attributed the problem to a maintenance issue. “The aircraft landed under its own power and has been taken out of service for inspection,” a spokesperson told People. The airline added that passengers were rebooked on later flights. The emergency comes amid heightened attention on airline reliability. In a comparable case last month, a United Airlines Boeing 787 operating Flight 108 declared a mayday after experiencing engine failure shortly after takeoff from Washington Dulles. The aircraft dumped fuel and circled before landing safely. The FAA confirmed it has launched an investigation into the American Airlines incident. The aircraft remains out of service pending inspection.

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.
