An Air India flight landed in San Francisco on Thursday carrying over 200 passengers stranded at Magadan in far east Russia for two days after the original aircraft had to be diverted there following a mid-air engine glitch.
“All our passengers are being extended maximum on-ground assistance with clearance formalities and provided other necessary support,” Air India said in a statement.
On Wednesday, Air India had sent a ferry flight to Magadan, in Russia to fly 216 stranded passengers and 16 crew members onwards to their original destination — San Francisco.
