LUCKNOW, Jan. 31 -- A Jeddah-bound flight was forced to make an emergency return to Lucknow after it lost cabin pressure when it was near Mumbai on Friday, airport sources said. While some passengers suffered breathing discomfort as a result of the snag, all were brought back safely, they added. According to the sources, Saudia flight SV-891 took off from the Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport at 12:23 pm, slightly behind schedule from its planned 12:05 pm departure. The aircraft was carrying 275 passengers, four pilots, and six cabin crew members. Shortly after flight approached Mumbai airspace, a technical issue related to cabin pressure was detected. The snag reportedly led to uneasiness and breathing difficulty for passengers. The pilots initially contacted the Mumbai air traffic control seeking permission for an emergency landing, but were unable to secure clearance there. The crew then coordinated with Lucknow ATC and received immediate approval to return. The aircraft safely landed back in Lucknow approximately 82 minutes after takeoff, around 1:45 pm. The officials confirmed that the landing was smooth and no injuries were reported. As per the latest updates, the aircraft was stationed at the Lucknow airport while a team of engineers conducted a detailed technical inspection. This was the second technical scare involving a Saudia aircraft in Lucknow in recent months. Last July 15, flight SV-3112 experienced a landing malfunction as smoke and sparks were seen coming from the landing gear area. That aircraft was carrying 242 Haj pilgrims at the time. Preliminary findings had suggested a hydraulic system leak led to issue in one wheel. htc...
