A Delhi-bound Air India flight returned to Udaipur soon after pushback due to the malfunctioning of a mobile charger of a passenger.
"The flight AI 470 was delayed by at least an hour and later took off for Delhi," one of the officials said.
Further, the airline official said, "The passenger noticed overheating of the mobile phone and alerted the cabin crew. Subsequently, the aircraft, which had pushed back, returned as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of the passengers."
However, an official at the Udaipur airport told PTI that there was apparently smoke onboard the aircraft following which it returned after pushback.
