An alternate aircraft of Indian budget carrier Spice Jet flew to Dubai from Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport on Tuesday night, ending a wait of nearly 11 hours for 138 passengers who got stranded in Karachi after taking off from New Delhi in the morning. SpiceJet NSE -1.33 %’s Delhi-Dubai flight was diverted to Karachi as the fuel indicator started malfunctioning. The Boeing 737 Max aircraft made an emergency landing at Karachi airport at around 9:15 am after the Pakistani Civil Aviation Authorities permitted the Indian plane to land at the Jinnah International Airport on humanitarian grounds.
