Incident 1: Air India flight AI 2487, traveling from Delhi to Bengaluru, was diverted to Bhopal on Tuesday after a suspected technical problem was detected while airborne. The aircraft landed safely in Bhopal and is currently undergoing precautionary checks, which are expected to take an extended period for resolution. Incident 2: Separately, an Air India flight (AI 174) from San Francisco to Delhi made a precautionary landing at Ulaanbaatar International Airport in Mongolia. The diversion occurred due to a suspected technical issue detected en route. Passengers were safely disembarked, provided with meals, and arranged hotel accommodation while Air India makes alternative travel arrangements to fly them to Delhi. Airline Response: Air India has expressed regret for the inconvenience caused to passengers in both instances. The airline reiterated that passenger and crew safety remains its utmost priority and that ground teams are providing immediate assistance.

Impact: This news can impact Air India's reputation and investor confidence, potentially leading to short-term scrutiny of its operational safety and maintenance standards. If such incidents become frequent, it could affect stock performance and passenger trust. Rating: 6/10.
