Following the cancellation, the aircraft was moved to the hangar for a comprehensive technical inspection. Engineers are examining the cause of the fault, and the aircraft will return to service only after all necessary repairs and safety checks are completed.

Passengers Face Travel Disruptions

The cancellation disrupted the travel plans of many passengers. Several had connecting domestic and international flights from Bengaluru, while others were travelling for business meetings, medical appointments, educational commitments, and other important purposes. Many passengers had to wait at the airport for rebooking assistance and information on alternate flights.

According to airline sources, affected passengers are being provided with alternate flight options, ticket rescheduling, or refunds as per applicable policies.
