Yesterday Air India Express Boeing 737 operating flight IX 415 from Cochin to Abu Dhabi was forced to turn back mid-flight. The crew detected a rapidly falling oil quantity on Engine 1 and later shut the engine down when oil pressure entered the danger zone.
The aircraft landed safely at Cochin International Airport. The aircraft was about 50 minutes after take-off and flying at 36,000 feet when the pilot and co-pilot noticed Engine 1 oil quantity dropping rapidly.
The crew carried out a FORDEC assessment. With the oil quantity continuing to fall, they decided to abandon the Abu Dhabi sector and return to Cochin.
