Sudden Deployment of Oxygen Masks Forces Jet Flight to Return

Chennai:  A Delhi-bound Jet Airways flight carrying 165 passengers and seven crew members onboard was forced to return today after the sudden deployment of oxygen masks in two rows of the aircraft.

Aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has initiated a probe into the incident, which happened this morning, sources said.

The probe would look into the reasons for the sudden deployment of the oxygen masks on Jet Airways flight 9W-820, which could also be because of some maintenance issue, they said.

The aircraft remained airborne for almost twenty minutes before landing back at the Chennai airport at around 10:30 am, they said.
