  "account": "Air India Flight AI2335, a Boeing A320, faced a hydraulic malfunction on its Bangkok to Delhi route on Thursday, August 13. The aircraft was halted mid-take-off due to the issue, which resulted in over 50 passengers being affected. The New Indian Express reported that the plane stopped suddenly during its take-off roll, and the crew had to carry out checks before the flight could be continued. Passengers remained onboard for more than 90 minutes before disembarking. The aircraft was later moved to a side bay near the runway for repairs, which took about three hours. However, the crew could not resume the journey due to duty time restrictions, causing the flight to depart Bangkok at 7pm local time on Friday, 24 hours later than planned. Air India provided hotel accommodation for passengers who decided to stay overnight in Bangkok, while others made alternative travel arrangements to return to India. The incident is the second hydraulic-related issue involving an Air India A320 within 10 days, reigniting concerns about the airline's A320 fleet and operational safety.",
