Air India said on Tuesday that it will operate another plane on Wednesday to fly its passengers from Magadan Airport in Russia, where its Delhi-San Francisco flight was diverted due to a mid-air glitch in one of the aircraft engines.
All the passengers and crew have been accommodated in hotels in Magadan, Air India said in a statement.
Earlier, the airline had informed that its flight AI-173 of June 6 on the Delhi-San Francisco route with 216 passengers and 16 crew on board was diverted to Magadan Airport, where it landed safely.
