New Delhi, June 16 -- An Air India flight from Delhi to Zurich was delayed on Sunday due to mandatory checks on Boeing 787-8 aircraft, which led to the flight arriving in Switzerland very late, close to the night curfew.

The delay was not due to any technical issue but the mandatory checks ordered by government, sources told PTI.

The return flight is scheduled to operate as planned, sources clarified.
