Air India Express Flight Returns to Cochin After Engine Oil Pressure WarningPreviousNext

An Air India Express Boeing 737 flight IX 415 from Cochin to Abu Dhabi returned to Cochin after the crew detected a rapid drop in oil quantity and pressure in Engine 1 about 50 minutes into the flight at 36,000 feet. Following a FORDEC assessment, the crew shut down the affected engine as oil pressure entered the danger zone and safely landed the aircraft. Passengers were reportedly unaware of the severity. The cause of the oil loss remains unclear, with further details awaited.
