A-I airbus suffers twin snags

New Delhi: Saturday was a day of technical snags at the IGI Airport. Around the time the flight from Singapore made an emergency landing following a hydraulic leak, passengers of another aircraft — a New York-bound Jumbo — that had also developed a snag on Friday morning were still waiting to take off.
Their flight was grounded by a cabin pressure problem. The alternate plane arranged by A-I left around 5 am on Saturday.
Meanwhile, an Air Deccan Airbus was also involved in a minor incident at IGI airport on Saturday.
"After passengers boarded the Bagdogra-bound aircraft, the ladder was being withdrawn when it hit the tail stabiliser and the plane had to be grounded. Passengers were accommodated in another aircraft," said Capt Gopinath, managing director of the airline.
