UK-bound Air India plane makes emergency landing in Moscow

The plane, en route from New Delhi to Birmingham, landed safely without any injuries to all 258 passengers and 17 crew members.

The scheduled departure time of the flight was set for 2135 Moscow time (2.35am on Sept 5 in Singapore).

In July 2024, an Air India plane operating from Delhi to San Francisco made a precautionary landing in the Russian region of Siberia after the cockpit crew detected a potential issue in the cargo hold area.

In June 2023, an Air India Boeing plane on the same Delhi to San Francisco route was stranded for a day after reporting a technical issue. Air India sent an aircraft a day later to pick up the stranded passengers. REUTERS
