Air India Express said the warning light was a false alarm
A Dubai-bound Air India Express flight from the Karipur international airport was diverted to Kannur on September 27 around an hour after take-off following the pilot noticing a fire warning light in the aircraft's cargo hold, airport sources said.
The flight – IX 345 – with 176 people, including the crew, onboard landed safely at Kannur around 11 a.m. and all the passengers are fine, the sources said.
