An Air India Boeing 787, the same kind of plane that crashed 4 days earlier, was forced to turn around after a midair "technical issue," the airline says.

Air India Boeing 787 flight to London was canceled just days after the crash on June 12 that took the lives of over 290 people. Air India said the cancellation was due to "unavailability of the aircraft.

The crash of a Boeing 787 passenger jet in India minutes after takeoff on Thursday is the latest incident that adds to woes at the troubled U.S. planemaker.
