Talking to TOI, Isro chairman Dr K Sivan said, “Gsat-11 has been recalled from French Guiana not because of any glitch. We want to carry out more tests on the satellite to ensure its launch is glitchfree.”He said, “Our team in French Guiana is working on modalities to bring the satellite back to India. After all the tests and checks on Gsat-11 in India, we will decide on its next launch date.”Isro is taking all precautions for satellite launches especially after the agency lost communication link with its recently launched satellite Gsat-6A.
CSG now shows a picture of GSAT-11. http://www.cnes-csg.fr/web/CNES-CSG-fr/10805-le-centre-spatial-guyanais.phpGSAT-11 in Kourou
An AN-124 left Cayenne on the 3rd and is currently flying in a holding pattern near Bengaluru. I would guess that's the one taking GSAT-11 home.

Stéphane Israël @arianespaceceo13 Std.Vor 13 Stunden#Arianespace has a busy schedule for the second half of 2018, including three missions in less than two months: #Ariane5’s next flight w/ #Galileo satellites (July 25), the #Vega mission to orbit Aeolus (late Aug) and the 100th launch of Ariane 5 (early Sept). #MissiontoSuccess
The Ariane 5 ES version for Flight VA244 (foreground) is shown on its way for payload installation at the Spaceport’s Final Assembly Building. In the background, the Ariane 5 ECA version for Arianespace’s following heavy-lift mission (VA243) is temporarily positioned in the ELA-3 launch zone before being transferred to the Launcher Integration Building.
