Plane makes emergency landing due to fuel leak

Jaipur: Day after a major air tragedy was averted after a technical snag was detected in the Muscat-bound aircraft, passengers of a Delhi-bound Air India flight from Ahmedabad were stranded for at least six hours after the flight made an emergency landing at Jaipur's Sanganer airport on Wednesday morning.
According to the Airport Authority of India (AAI) officials, the pilot of the aircraft realised leakage in the fuel tank when the aircraft was on its way to Delhi. As such, he opted to make an emergency landing.
However, there were unofficial reports, which said that the aircraft did not have enough fuel to fly up to Delhi from Ahmedabad.
All the 129 passengers of this flight took a sigh of relief when the flight took off to Delhi around 2.10 pm.
