THE STORY
On 4 August 2026, shortly after leaving Phuket for Delhi, all three hydraulic systems dropped out within seconds at cruise. The A320 went through a serious in-flight upset as the crew fought for control, pressure was restored, and the jet was landed safely at Delhi — 24 people were injured.
