Ageing fleet and poor maintenance of aircraft by Air India is becoming a nightmare for the crew operating these aircraft and passengers flying them.
AI 879 Delhi-Bagdogra bearing registration number VT-ESC with 152 passengers and six crew members on board took off from Delhi airport at 12 pm on Friday. Before landing at Bagdogra, the aircraft reported a leak from the main hydraulic tank caused by the bursting of a pipeline in the main wheel bay. Within seconds the hydraulic tank released over 14.19 litres of oil and this was when the pilot decided to terminate the journey for Bagdogra and established contact with Kolkata ATC for an emergency landing.
