Air India is facing its biggest operational crisis since being acquired by the Tata Group three and a half years ago, with seven international flights cancelled on Tuesday and a technical snag forcing passengers on the San Francisco–Mumbai flight to deboard during a scheduled stopover in Kolkata.

The Air India flight, carrying 242 passengers and crew members, crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad, India, en route to London Gatwick.

The intensified checks included scrutiny of take-off parameters, electronic engine control systems, and components related to engine fuel systems.
