An Air India Boeing 787-8 flight headed for New Delhi returned to Hong Kong shortly after takeoff Monday because of a "technical issue," Indian media reported.

Boeing India has chosen not to comment on a recent meeting between Stephanie Pope and Air India. The company is actively supporting the investigation into the recent Air India crash, reaffirming its commitment to customer service and safety.

Sources say Chandrasekaran also met representatives from Boeing and engine manufacturer GE Aerospace as they investigate the crash.

Boeing is facing mounting pressure as India's aviation ministry considers temporarily grounding the country's Boeing 787-8 fleet.

The crash happened just weeks after the company cut a deal with the U.S. government to avoid taking criminal responsibility for a pair of deadly crashes in 2018 and 2019.
