New Delhi, July 9:

An Air India Airbus 319 aircraft, on a scheduled flight from Abu Dhabi to Delhi, made an emergency landing in Nawabshah in Sindh Pakistan in the early hours of Monday. The aircraft had to make the emergency landing as it developed a technical problem with its hydraulic system, sources said. In a statement, the airline said that the aircraft landed in Nawabshah as it experienced a “technical snag warning” while overflying Pakistan. The pilot decided to land the aircraft at Nawabshah airport after a warning light came on, sources added. After a stay of close to 12 hours in Pakistan the 122 stranded passengers and six crew members were flown back to Delhi on a relief aircraft that was sent from here, officials said.
