Stranded
Air India plane reaches Delhi
New
Delhi: Air India flight 112 reached Indira Gandhi International Airport
here on Sunday afternoon after it was stranded for more than two days
at the London Heathrow Airport following a snag in its engine. While 96
of the passengers had been able to reach the city on Saturday evening
by a special aircraft via Ahmedabad, the remaining 338 of them finally
landed amidst their anxious relatives, who had gathered to welcome them
in the airport. The New York-London-Delhi-Mumbai flight had developed
a snag in its engine after it was hit by a bird on Thursday and was grounded
in the Heathrow airport for the last forty-eight hours. Its engine was
completely replaced before it flew to Delhi . The arriving passengers
narrated the ordeal through which they had to undergo while they were
stranded. They said that the Air India officials did not provide them
with basic amenities and they had to spend long hours at the terminal.
Air India officials, on the other hand, said that they had accommodated
the passengers in hotels near the airport and had provided them with all
basic amenities.
