Not sure how serious this really was, but I was on an IC-flight from Varanasi to Khujaraho last friday, and we had to return to Varansi due to a hydraulical failure as well. I haven`t seen any report about that in the news, but the plane was not able to continue to Khajuraho. Tha planes identification number was VT-EPQ, can anybody tell me whether this plane had the same ID?
