Chennai: An Air India flight from Delhi was stranded on the runway soon after landing because of a technical snag for around 10 minutes at 13.30pm at Chennai airport on Wednesday. Runway was opened for operations in 15 minutes.
Sources said that the plane reportedly developed a hydraulic failure which slowed down taxiing out of the runway after landing. Air traffic controllers told approaching planes to be on hold while the stricken aircraft was towed away from the runway.
Airport director Deepak Shastri said, "It was a minor incident which was caused because of a technical issue of the aircraft. It did not affect flights. There were no diversions. The runway was opened in 15 minutes."
