AI 379 flight, with 156 people aboard, left Phuket International Airport at 9:30 AM IST (0230 GMT) but had to return following circular routes over the Andaman Sea, according to Flightradar24. Passengers were evacuated as per emergency procedures following the safe landing, a company official told Reuters.
