On March 6, 2025, Air India Flight AI126 from Chicago to Delhi was forced to return to Chicago O'Hare International Airport after a 10-hour journey. The Boeing 777-300 ER, with a capacity of 342 passengers, experienced a technical issue when nine out of its 10 lavatories became clogged. Passengers endured the long flight with no bathroom access before the airline decided to turn the aircraft around. The airline confirmed the return and assured passengers of accommodation and alternative arrangements to continue their journey.
