An Air India flight carrying over 200 passengers stranded at Magadan in far east Russia since Tuesday, after the original aircraft had to be diverted there following a technical glitch, landed safely at San Francisco on Thursday.
“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.
