Air India's flight AI174 from San Francisco to Delhi made a precautionary landing in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, on November 2, after the crew suspected a technical issue during the flight. The airline confirmed that the Boeing aircraft landed safely at Chinggis Khaan International Airport, where it is currently undergoing thorough technical checks.

An Air India spokesperson stated, "We are working closely with our partners to support all passengers while we make efforts to get everyone on their way to the destination at the earliest opportunity." The airline has not disclosed the number of passengers on board but is coordinating with local authorities to assist those affected by the diversion.

Air India expressed regret for the inconvenience caused, emphasizing that the safety of passengers and crew is their top priority. Meanwhile, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has granted Air India a temporary extension of flight duty time for its Boeing 787 Dreamliner planes on European routes, due to longer flight paths resulting from the closure of Pakistani airspace. This extension allows for a flight duty time of 10 hours and 30 minutes, up from 10 hours, and a flight duty period of 14 hours, increased from 13 hours, applicable only under specific operational circumstances.
