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, the Indian airline said on Friday.
The Boeing 777 aircraft landed safely at the Krasnoyarsk International Airport with all 225 passengers and 19 flight crew members, the airline said adding that it is making arrangements for a replacement flight to the destination.
Krasnoyarsk International Airport, Boeing and US State Department did not immediately respond to a Reuters’ request for comment.
Last June, an Air India – Boeing plane on the same route was stranded for a day and the passengers were housed in makeshift accommodation at Russia’s remote Magadan airport.
