MUMBAI: Air India rectified the technical snag and the Boeing aircraft which had been grounded in Magadan (Russia) landed in Mumbai on June 10 evening.
The plane had taken off from Magadan earlier in the day after engineers rectified the oil system defect in one of the engines, according to a press release of the airline.
The Boeing 777 carrying cabin crew apart from the two pilots made a safe landing at Mumbai airport at 7.30 pm IST, said a statement from Air India. “Everything has been sorted out and now this Boeing can be used to fly to any sector, anywhere in the world,|” the statement added.
On June 6, an AI 173 flight operating from Delhi to San Francisco carrying 216 passengers and 16 crew members was diverted to the port city of Magadan in far east Russia following a mid-air glitch in one of the engines of the Boeing 777.
