An Air India spokesperson acknowledged the issue, mentioning, “The crew reported a problem with the slider window in the cockpit, which is currently being inspected. If necessary, it will be replaced following standard procedures. Air India always prioritizes the safety of its passengers and crew.”
This incident follows another recent issue involving an Air India Express flight from Bengaluru to Cochin, which had to be diverted shortly after take-off due to an engine fire. These incidents highlight the critical importance of stringent safety checks and maintenance protocols in aviation to ensure the safety and reliability of aircraft operations.
