Overview

• Flight AI645 aborted its takeoff run at Mumbai on August 22 due to an operational or technical issue, according to the airline.
• Pilots discontinued the roll per standard procedures and returned the aircraft to the bay, an Air India spokesperson said.
• Passengers were deplaned and later reboarded, with accounts noting it was unclear whether the same aircraft operated the sector.
• The service, listed as an Airbus A320neo, departed at 12:46 pm and landed in Jodhpur at 2:30 pm after a scheduled 9:15 am departure.
• The incident follows other August disruptions, including an aborted Kochi–Delhi takeoff and a Milan–Delhi cancellation, as the DGCA recently warned Air India over compliance lapses.
