A statement of the British High Commission said, “The F-35B aircraft is awaiting repairs at Thiruvananthapuram International Airport after developing an engineering issue. The UK has accepted an offer to move the aircraft to the maintenance repair and overhaul facility at the same airport.”

“The aircraft will be moved to the hangar once UK engineering teams arrive with specialist equipment, thereby ensuring there is minimal disruption to scheduled maintenance of other aircraft,” the statement added.
