<<and asked for permission to land>>
That's the sort of phrase I love! In my life in ATC I worked over a million flights... and not one them asked me for permission to land!!

Been a bad few weeks for AI.
couple of weeks ago - one of their 744s had a tailstrike on take off from FRA, not noticed until arrival in LAX. AOG for over 10 days with "severe structural damage to APU housing"
Another one had radome damage in LAX, and the Pres of India is using a 744 for his European jaunt.
3 out of a fleet of 11 744s really screwed up their schedules, and now this....

Isn't there some sort of communication ?
In the case of this particular aircraft, the story includes the word “fire.” Off-line or not, permission-asking is highly unlikely.
