Air India chips in after Swedish Royal couple’s aircraft develops snag
National carrier Air India chipped in to ferry Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia on their state visit to India when their aircraft developed a technical snag at the last minute.
The Royal couple, who are on their second five-day visit to India after 26 years, were scheduled to arrive on their state aircraft. However, they had to take a direct commercial flight of Air India from Stockholm to New Delhi Monday morning.
“The reason for the change was that there was a technical problem with the state aircraft,” a Swedish official told PTI.
On arrival, they were greeted by country manager of Air India, Sangeeta Sanyal.
