A Chennai-bound Air India flight was forced to return to Mumbai on Saturday due to a "burning smell" in the cabin.
The aircraft, however, landed back safely, Air India said in a statement.
"Air India flight AI 639, operating from Mumbai to Chennai, on Friday, June 27, made a precautionary air-return to Mumbai due to a burning smell in the cabin," the airline said in a statement.
