After the accident of Air India AI-171 in Ahmedabad last Thursday, international airlines have started to take high alert in flights. 241 people and 31 others were killed in the Ahmedabad crash, including passengers and crew members.

The plane, which took off from Ahmedabad on Thursday, crashed into the building of the hostel within two minutes. After the accident, there is serious concern around the world about the condition and safety of the ships. After the accident, India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation ordered a safety check of Air India's 787 fleet. 

Since then, international airlines have started canceling flights citing technical and safety reasons. Because of this, international flights have been affected. Air India has canceled half a dozen international flights after a technical check on Tuesday alone. Other companies have canceled flights after security checks, while some have postponed flights due to adverse weather and technical reasons. 

Last Sunday, the British Airways Boeing 787 Dreamliner on the London-Chennai flight returned to Heathrow Airport due to technical problems. "After reports of technical problems, the plane returned to Heathrow," the British Airways statement quoted the media as saying. 

Similarly, the Air India plane that flew from Hong Kong to Delhi on Monday was turned back midway due to technical problems. The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner returned to Hong Kong. According to Indian media, the plane was turned back midway after the crew member got the information that there was some technical problem in the plane while it was flying. On Monday, a plane flying from Frankfurt, Germany to Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Airport returned to Frankfurt after a bomb was suspected.
