Air India flight AI129, scheduled to depart from Mumbai for London at 6:30 AM on Saturday, was delayed by over six hours due to a technical issue, the airline confirmed. The flight, initially expected to take off early in the morning, has now been rescheduled for 1:00 PM, reported ANI.

According to an Air India spokesperson, the aircraft returned to the bay shortly after pushback following a suspected technical problem. “Passengers were disembarked, and the aircraft underwent necessary checks. Subsequently, the crew came under the mandatory Flight Duty Time Limitation (FDTL) protocol, restricting them from operating the flight immediately,” the spokesperson said.
