Air India’s Hong Kong-Delhi flight, British Airways' London-Chennai flight, and Lufthansa’s Frankfurt-Hyderabad flight were forced to return to their origin after takeoff.

Days after the deadly Air India crash in Ahmedabad, another Boeing Dreamliner made headlines as British Airways’ Chennai-bound flight BA35 returned mid-air to London due to a technical snag, prompting fresh scrutiny of the aircraft model.

Three India-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliners have been forced to return back to base within a 36-hour period after being hit with problems. The Air India passenger jets -the same type as the aircraft involved in last week's tragedy in Ahmedabad- suffered a mix of issues from a bomb threat to a technical glitch.
