Air scare: Air India flight AI2939 makes emergency landing at IGI
NEW DELHI: An Air India flight operating as AI 2939, travelling from Delhi to Ahmedabad, was forced to make an emergency landing at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport late Monday night after smoke was detected in the aircraft’s cargo hold, a signal that was later confirmed to be a false alarm following detailed safety checks.
The flight, which had only recently recently taken off, declared an emergency shortly after the cockpit alert. The crew initiated immediate protocols and returned to Delhi, where the aircraft landed safely. All passengers and crew were promptly and safely disembarked.
