NEW DELHI, Jul 18 (NNN-PTI) – Another Indian aircraft made an emergency landing in a foreign country, over the past 24 hours, media reported yesterday.
An Air India Express flight, from India’s southern city of Calicut to the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) Dubai, was diverted to Oman’s capital, Muscat, after a burning smell emerged in the cabin.
Post-landing engineering inspections were carried out on the aircraft and the engines, but no fumes or smoke were observed and the flight took off for its onward journey to Dubai, the reports said.
This was the second Indian aircraft to make an emergency landing in a foreign country, over the past 24 hours. Earlier, private airline IndiGo’s flight from Sharjah in the UAE to India’s southern city of Hyderabad was diverted to Pakistan’s Karachi airport, after it developed a technical snag.
Incidents of technical glitches and smoke emerging inside the cabin have been on the rise in Indian airlines’ flights, over the past few weeks.
