An Air India Flight From Dubai Diverted To Muscat After A Burning Smell Took Over The Galley

It’s always unexpected but very much a possibility that a flight will experience technical difficulty. In fact, the news reported 2 in the past 2 weeks.

Today, an Air India Express flight from Calicut headed to Dubai was diverted to Muscat after the crew smelt something burning in the kitchen

Flight IX355 had a faulty oven which released the smell of smoke. The plane landed in Muscat at 1:47am and the oven was disconnected.

127 passengers and 2 infants were flown to Dubai after a 6-hour delay, arriving at 9:11AM.
