An Air India flight recently crashed into a medical school in Ahmedabad just moments after taking off, killing 241 of the 242 people on board

An Air India flight has suffered a technical glitch just days after another of the carrier’s planes smashed into a building in Ahmedabad.

Passengers aboard Flight A159 – which was bound for London – were forced to evacuate this morning after one of the engines suffered a technical fault.

The plane had stopped for a layover at Kolkata Airport, where passengers were asked to disembark.

It follows another “mid-air technical issue” that forced an Air India flight to divert yesterday. Air India Flight A1315 was bound for Delhi after departing from Hong Kong. However, the pilot ordered a u-turn after noticing a technical problem.
