Air India Amritsar-Birmingham Flight Detects RAT Deployment Mid-Air, Lands Safely

An Air India flight from Amritsar to the United Kingdom landed safely in Birmingham after it experienced the deployment of its Ram Air Turbine (RAT) during final approach on Saturday.

The aircraft was grounded for checks after its landing, which led to the cancellation of the subsequent flight from Birmingham to New Delhi.

“The operating crew of flight AI117 from Amritsar to Birmingham on 04 October 2025 detected deployment of the Ram Air Turbine (RAT) of the aircraft during its final approach. All electrical and hydraulic parameters were found normal, and the aircraft performed a safe landing at Birmingham.
