AI flight in emergency landing

New Delhi: A Guwahati-bound Air India aircraft, with 73 persons on board, had to return to the national capital and land at Indira Gandhi International airport here under emergency conditions today after the pilot detected a technical problem shortly after take-off.
The glitch forced the aircraft to return and make an emergency landing at the airport after around 30 minutes of flying.
Sixty-eight passengers and a five-member crew were on board the aircraft.
The aircraft, a Canadian Regional Jet (CRJ), landed safely at the IGI airport here around 3.45pm.
The airline authorities thereafter shifted the passengers to another Guwahati-bound plane, also a CRJ aircraft.
