Air India heightens security following alert and crash

An Air India Express flight from Delhi to Jammu had to turn back on Monday because of a technical issue.
Everyone was safe, and another plane took over the route.
This happened just days after a tragic Air India crash in Ahmedabad on June 12 that claimed 241 lives, so airlines and officials are being extra cautious right now.

TL;DR

Another Air India incident on same day

On the same day, Air India flagged a general security alert for one of its aircraft and carried out all standard checks before letting it fly again.
Meanwhile, investigators have successfully recovered data from the crashed plane's black box and cockpit voice recorder—they're now working to piece together what went wrong and how future flights can be made safer.
