Due to an engine issue, an Air India flight from Delhi to San Francisco was diverted to Magadan in Russia. According to an Air India spokesperson, the flight landed safely in Russia. The official claimed that the airplane has 216 passengers and 16 personnel onboard.
According to the official, “Air India flight AI173 flying from Delhi to San Francisco developed a technical issue with one of its engines. The 216 passenger and 16 crew flight successfully landed at Magadan Airport in Russia after being redirected.”
Further, the official said the passengers are being provided with necessary help on the ground and will be provided alternate choices to reach their destinations at the earliest. An Air India spokesperson added, “The aircraft is undergoing mandatory checks on the ground.”
Due to bad weather and traffic, an Air India flight from Chennai to Singapore earlier this month was diverted to Malaysia.
Notably, the Government of India, who previously held Air India Limited, completed the sale of the company, and Talace Private Limited, a completely owned subsidiary of Tata Sons, now owns Air India.
It is important to note that Shankar Mishra, who urinated on his fellow passenger on November 26 of last year, allegedly did so while under the influence of alcohol, has come under fire from Air India’s customers and social media users for a similar incident. Since then, it has made headlines for a variety of issues, including “bad quality” food services and unsatisfactory seating arrangements.
