New Delhi/IBNS: A Delhi-bound Air India flight from Hong Kong returned soon after takeoff due to technical glitch, media reports said.

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner made a return when the pilot of AI315 aircraft suspected a technical issue.

The aircraft returned as a precautionary measure, the airline said.

In another incident, a Chennai-bound British Airways Boeing Dreamliner returned to London midway after a technical issue was reported.

These take place days after a London-bound Air India Boeing Dreamliner flight crashed soon after takeoff near the Ahmedabad airport killing 279 people including on-ground people.

241 out of 242 onboard passengers and crew members were killed in the crash, which is one of the country's worst aviation tragedies.

One person, the passenger of seat No. 11A,  survived the crash miraculously.

Need to do extended surveillance into Boeing 787 Series, says Civil Aviation Minister

Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu on Saturday acknowledged the need for an "extended surveillance into Boeing 787 Series" aircraft in the aftermath of the plane crash that killed 279 including on-ground people.

Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, Naidu said the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has already given its order for "extended surveillance for the 787 planes".

"We have very strict safety standards in the country...When the incident happened, we also felt that there is a need to do an extended surveillance into the Boeing 787 Series. DGCA has also given an order to do the extended surveillance for the 787 planes.

"There are 34 in our Indian aircraft fleet today. I believe that 8 have already been inspected and with immediate urgency, all of them are going to be done...," the minister said.
