Another emergency landing at IGI airport

NEW DELHI: Hours after an Air India aircraft got its nose-wheels bogged down on ground at the IGI airport, another plane of the same airline coming in from Dubai landed under full emergency conditions with 65 passengers on board with a hydraulic problem.

The Dubai-Delhi flight, AI-736, landed amid emergency conditions with the pilot of the Boeing-767 informing the air traffic control about a hydraulic problem in the aircraft, airport sources said.

The Dubai flight landed safely at 1515 hours, the sources said, adding the aircraft was taken to a remote bay for repairs after the passengers de-planed.

Earlier in the day, Air India’s Shanghai-Bangkok-Delhi flight (AI-349), with 191 people on board, landed under similar conditions after it developed problems in its under-carriage.

Its nose-wheel capsized and got bogged down when it was being towed by a tractor for repairs to an isolated bay.

Thanks for the article Steve. The article doesen’t state anything new, although some inaccuracies are there. Air India, financially or publicaly were not in there prime in the 1990s.

Also my sources now tell me that Kingfisher Airlines is gaining very quickly to Indian, jet and Deccan as one of the top airlines in India. They are even planning to set up a company in USA, so that they can start flights on the lucrative US-India route, bypassing the Indian 5-year no international operations law.
