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. The relief aircraft, an
Airbus 320, landed in Delhi at 5 p.m.
