According to Flightradar24, the flight turned back while flying over Chinese airspace after being airborne for roughly four hours.

A Vancouver-bound Air India flight from Delhi, operated by a Boeing 777 200LR aircraft, was forced to return to Delhi on Thursday evening after flying for over seven hours, as it was found that the aircraft deployed for the service was not approved for operations to Canada, people aware of the matter said.

How is this a thing people have time to discuss on.

Like someone made a mistake...
Very human trait.
Happens to the best of us.
 
Getting on a wrong plane is an acceptable mistake. Air India flying the wrong plane is incompetence.
In the context of things worth discussing in the world right now.

This is pretty much at the bottom of things worthy of any cognitive discussion.
 
Last 1 year has not been great for Indian pilots. :qdkcheeky

India lost 6-7 jets during Operation Tandoor
1 civilian plane crash
2 Tejas crashes
Air India flying the wrong plane

Indians are clearly not great with planes. :qdkcheeky

Pretty cognitive discussion for an airline to fly the wrong plane and realize after many hours that it’s the wrong plane.

A random person getting on the wrong plane isn’t so.
