Delhi‘s airport, which is the country‘s busiest, not only operates the maximum number of flights a day in India, but also tops an unflattering list.
Data provided by the Airports Authority of India in response to an RTI request from Mail Today shows that, up until August 31 this year, as many as 48 emergency landings took place across the country, of which 23 were in the capital.
Three other metro cities, Chennai, Mumbai and Kolkata, reported six, three and one emergency landings, respectively.
