An Air India flight carrying 216 passengers landed in San Francisco (SFO) at 12:07am (12:37pm IST) on Thursday two days after they were left stranded in the remote Russian town of Magadan following an emergency landing due to a technical fault.
In a statement, Air India said all the passengers were being extended maximum on-ground assistance with clearance formalities and other necessary support. “Air India thanks [the] government agencies, regulatory authorities, our staff, and partners involved in supporting our endeavour to bring our passengers to SFO as soon as possible and in providing them care while they waited in Magadan, Russia.”
